Ugly Betty Special Returns


It's halftime in Provo. My stomach is turning. C'mon Utah. What is the deal? 44-30 at the half?

Here is my rundown on the game:

Offense - slow it down, pass the ball, get good shots off. Stop playing the "run-and-chuck" offense. You are 1-8 from the three point line, so maybe you should stop shooting them, especially if only one of you is planning to rebound.

Defense - At least three times, you have totally collapsed and left BYU with a clear runway to the basket. Stop doing that. Get your hands up, move your feet, and cut off the lane.

To give them some credit, BYU is really good this year. They are far outplaying Utah and out-coaching them. In the first half they are 5-6 from 3 point land. Wow! They are not going to miss a shot.

A loss for Utah may have been expected in this match, but at least SHOW UP and START PLAYING!!


In other news, since I'm giving
expert basketball advice . . .

Dad, your Jr. Jazz team needs to do some left hand drills. Have your big guys do some Miken drills or at least run some lay-up lines and insist that they use their lefts on the left side. It could greatly improve your team! Left. Left. Left.
