Ugh, feel like we might get lit up by those guys.

Can't buy a 3

We are lucky Utah is kinda cold too.

Plus after that 11-0 start we've looked lethargic. Need to snap out of it as this is about as much of a ""taking care of business conference game" as we're gonna have all season.

Do we have any offensive gameplan other than see who can jack up a 3 and miss.
Johnny Bear

We should have at least a 20+ point lead on these guys at this point.

That's been the game plan for multiple years. Shouldn't surprise anyone. When it works we light teams up. When it doesn't we end up in dog fights

Ok. Finally settling down and playing like we should. Hopefully the 3 weeks of
rust are off now.

Finally started hitting some of our open looks. Up 20 at the half. Would be a closer game but Utah even colder than us.
Johnny Bear

Took a while, but we finally settled in and looked like a ranked team, playing at home against the weakest team in their conference, the last few minutes of half.

Dominate 1st half overall. Nice lead up to the bowl game

Check the Kansas score. Down 13 to WV at home.

DeVries is a darn good coach. WV got that 1 right

Even stranger -- WVU is playing without its top 2
players. The coach's son and their
only center who could stop Dickinson. But yet they are stopping them!

And apparently WV is down a couple of starters. Very impressive. Gonna be tough to win at Morgantown.

Utah is not a very good team. If we play like this against ISU we'll be in big trouble

Defense wasn't great but decent. Utah missing decent looks. But they are more active than they've been most of the year.

Celestine is much more active than usual on D and it makes a huge difference. Usually extremely slow to the ball, no hands, and slow footwork.. not as much today. Better.

The offense looks sloppy but getting enough so far.

More impressive for West Virginia their plane diverted to Miami and blew a tire on landing.. didn't get to hotel till 2am for 1 pm tip.

Then you had Gonzaga jet almost struck by Delta jet at LAX Monday.

It's an impressive big 12 win. Period
I have found theres only two ways to go:
Living fast or dying slow.
I dont want to live forever.
But I will live while I'm here.

Nice conference team. How can "fans" be negative?

We need Love to help more off the bench. Needs to get his shot back from being out so long.
Quinton

Defense played fairly well. Need to get Love going. That would take this team to the next level.

Josh and Celestine were much better on defense today.

Vj was excellent on defense today and looks to be our best defender now.

Solid taking care of biz type win against a team we should dominate, especially at home. Stunned that KU didn't do the same against WVU.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yes either Utah is bad on offense or our defense was pretty darn good today

Lots of active hands and our positioning was good. Forced a lot of turn overs.

Room for improvement is rebounding.

Utah is a loooooong way from playing in the Big 12 in basketball.

Utah, TCU and Oklahoma St are all difficult to watch on offense. All 3 at or near the bottom of the Big 12 in most offensive metrics. But our D looked much better overall today. Saturday will be the first litmus test.
