College Basketball '14-15......

Nice win, play of the night might have been coach K calling a timeout just before VanVleet would have stolen it from Delon at the end OT and pushed the lead to 3. Delon sometimes over dribbles himself to bad positions and we pay for it but luckily got the timeout just in time. I'm happy with the win but disappointed with the sequence at the end of regulation. We took our foot off the gas and almost choked it away. We were killing their defense in the 2nd half. Taylor made some big time plays and played pretty composed for how much pressure they put on us. Poeltl played great as expected but a thing I'm impressed with him more is his court awareness, he was in the right position at the right time.

Great summary. I didn't see the game, but agree. yeah.. most fans love a press, but they see a couple steals leading to a highlight reel but forget the 10 easy baskets they gave up to get them.

Yeah, especially against a good 3-point shooting team.

I'm excited for this UK/Texas game! Should be exciting. Hopefully, Cal can keep up with Barnes the Brilliant.

Who should we not expect to beat at home?

Our only home losses last year were to #10 Oregon, and #4 Arizona, both in OT.

We are a much improved team, have a legit home court advantage, and we were just favored to beat the #8 team in the nation, which we did obvi.

What teams should we expect to lose to at home? Maybe like 3 or 4 teams?

You are really really wrong about Utah this year bro. You think we are playing to get into the tournament, we are playing for a high seed and looking to make a deep run.

Yes, I know you are a uk fan and they are good at basketball.
 
I agree. If you are a good team you should expect to win all your home games.

I am a Utes supporter. I just think expectations are a little on the hiģh side.

Everyone knows that UK is a tier above everyone else hell, probably two tiers. But aren't we allowed to be happy that our team might finally be worth a damn? Especially considering that we were legitimately the worst college Bball team in the country just a few years ago. Saying Utah (or any other team) is good =/= UK is less good. Enjoy the championship. I think we are allowed to enjoy beating the #8 team, who returned two all-americans, last year #1 seed in tourny, who hadn't lost a regular season game in two years.

No one was comparing Utes to UK that I saw..

I know UGLI quite well.. we have even worked together. Can't I rib a little?

I think at one point you said 'Tucky would beat Utah by 75, so yes, there was a comparison, all be it a tongue-in-cheek one. I really don't have a problem with your posts overall, but you do seem to come across as the guy sitting back saying "how cute" when other fans get excited about their college bball teams.

I say let us Ute fans run with these expectations. This team has 2 NBA prospects on the roster and an exciting blend of youth/experience/upside. Yeah, we're not Kentucky, but neither is any other program.

Awesome that I get to decide whether or not you are allowed to run with your expectations.

*contemplating*

Granted.

Also: albeit >>> all be it
 
That Prince Ibeh free throw stroke would drive me nuts if he was on my team. Truly a sight to behold. Although he might be the most athletic big out there tonight so that kind of makes up for it.
