They showed we had one when we got the ball down 1. Then suddenly none after the turnover (foul). Not sure what happened.

Dinwiddie's last miss was a killer. If they're tied instead of down 1, he might have been more under control coming down court, and being down 3 instead of 2 on the last possession totally changed that play. All Utah had to do was defend the 3 point line...
We took a timeout after the Dinwiddie turnover
Agreed. This is a tough loss, but Utah has played lots of teams tough. I bet you we beat Oregon Thursday. Thats how we seem to always play. Have a terrible loss than win a game we are supposed to lose.
Turnovers and missed ft's, been seeing too damn much of that. They should have beat Utah by double digits, where was that D in the first half?

The difference is Utah is 170 RPI, this isn't just a loss, we've hurt ourselves BIG time

I missed that. Probably because of a blind rage...

Coaching doesn't get you down by 22.
The effort on D in the first half wasn't close to the second. They didn't have a fg the last 10 minutes. Play like that in the first half, would have been an easy win.
Nah, it is what Junc said. The first ten minutes of the second half were the difference.
Still a loss to a team with a 169 RPI

Outscored by 16 points in 8 minutes. There is really no excuse...
I agree, that certainly didn't help. I just think CU is much better when they are pressing full court and pushing tempo. No matter the reasons, you flat cant lose to teams like this.
Still, it remains a young team with no upperclass leaders. Chen tries but he cannot will this team to win and Roberson doesn't seem to want to try to lead, other than by his efforts.
Next year Scott or XJ may assume the mantle, but right now there is no "in-your-face-play-well-or answer-to-me" leader on the floor in crunch time, whether crunch time is the first four minutes of the game or the first eight minutes of the second half.

Long term, MAYBE it could work. Short term, turnovers would go up quite a bit.
In this offense, I'm not sure it matters. Both spots are pretty interchangeable as it is.
I'm having trouble seeing Ski as being able to dish the ball around, especially if he is cold. Dinwiddie's scoring would go way up though if he was at the 2.
Agree with the coach. Very young and zero depth. This team is mediocre. They could make a jump next season with contributions from the Freshmen and the redshirts.

Tough way to lose a game. But I don't buy that it was as much of a must win as some did. We have to beat Oregon State though. And hold serve at home. Do that and we are a 20 win team... Find a way to win one conference tourney game and a 21-11 mark probably gets them dancing

Depends how you look at "must-win". Did this one game ruin our entire season, by itself? No. They rarely do. However, did this one game take us from being in solid shape for the Dance and now make it unlikely? Yeah, it did. Losing to the 170th team in the RPI in February is a pretty massive setback. Sure, we can get one win in Oregon, win all our games at home, and win one in the Bay Area and still get in.

I don't know, that was a pretty big loss. We aren't out of the picture by any means, but one of the strengths of our resume was having no bad losses. That's now gone and we really need a couple of big wins to overcome that. Getting both Arizona and Oregon at home would probably qualify though.
