If they would have fouled last year instead of watching the U hit a tying three, they could have won. I expect a game to the end…the U is beatable.

Utah slightly improved from last year and I really believe the Cats are a better overall talent than last year. Defensively, they really need to work harder. BUT, if GOMA is one of Utah's starters, I don't see them being much of a threat in the Big 12. He was okay for the Cats, and I would rather have him now than not (also he is making more $$$...GREAT for him) but he is not a Big 12 Big. Hope I'm wrong. I want all of our former Wildcats to do well, just not against us. Personally, if the Cats can put together a better defensive showing than the last two games, they have the speed to come out with a W tonight. That would be so wonderful if they could too.

On another note, I really feel the NCAA needs to cut a ref. Too much tickytac crap being called. Both games have had waaaaayyyy too many freebies.

I watched the first half and was liking what I was seeing. I had to help kids out with homework and didn’t watch second half and only saw the final score alert come up that showed the Wildcats had their butts handed to them. What happened? Wildcats defense must be pretty weak. I’m thinking this may be tough sledding this year…getting less optimistic about Big Sky play, too.

I couldn't watch the first half for the same reasons, helping kiddos. But, what I could watch in the second, I noticed that when Lowe went off the floor, the offense struggled and Utah got hot. In the two games I've watched, the Cats start to give up on defense when their shots stop falling on offense. A lot of Weber's issues are connected to their being young and inexperienced. Mental toughness is needed. I really like aspects of our team. There needs to be more off ball movement on offense. Too much standing around and dribbling. Next, the team doesn't always act like a team. One guy cannot win the game.
