Isn't someone else supposed to be starting this thread. Perhaps because of the failure to start the thread, we are down 38-26 with about a minute left in the half.

What a Jekyll and Hyde team we have (home vs. road). Where has that team that played the Washington's gone?

I can't remember the last time I saw such bad shot selection (and I watched a LOT of games in the Dawkins era). It seemed like every possession ended in a drive into 3 defenders resulting in a block, turnover, or altered shot that missed.
Oh well. I guess games like this will happen with a freshman-laden team. Onward.

I tuned in to see Humphrey hit one of two free throws to get us to 20-22. Utah then went on an 11-2 so it is all my fault.Â
I did think we were getting it inside well during that run but none of our shots were falling. Then the shot selection obviously deteriorated...

I'm going to chalk up last night's loss to altitude and a better-than-normal performance by Utah. Our team will have its mountain legs ready for CU, and I'm predicting a narrow Stanford victory.
Also, Stanford is still only a half-game out of fourth place behind UW in the conference standings, and only one game out of a tie for second place.

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)

Hurlburt--
Yep, there was a long sequence in the first half of Humphrey finding himself wide open at the high post, turning to face, and bricking an 8 to 10 foot jump shot. Then he tried to start to get closer to the hoop, and that led to the blocks; he's not exactly the type to power to the hoop through contact.
Our more experienced players (Pickens, Humphrey, Travis) went a combined 9-30 from the field. 30%, from two post players and our best shooter. That would lead to problems in most any game.
But we also had our same old issue - no really good defensive guards. Justin Bibbens, the Utes' diminutive PG, absolutely torched us, especially on the pick-and-roll, which allowed him to match-up against Humphrey on the perimeter. 7-9, including 4-4 three pointers.Â
We have great defensive length, and that is probably where the game is heading - Warriors' style interchangeable 6-3 to 6-9 long players. But it feels like those players think that they can make up for being slow to react and/or out of position based on that length and athleticism. May be a freshmen thing - they were likely able to do that at their last level of basketball.
