Well, it is true that we did not dominate the second half as completely as the first.  Utah got a bit of an inside game going with Pendande.  But I, for one, am pleased with our performance in the second half anyway.  Tara gave our third string players the floor and they more than held their own.  In fact, Van Gytenbeek looked brilliant at times and is increasing my confidence in our pointguard-of-the-future.  We also showed we could defeat the zone in this game--very important--and our three point shooting returned.  11 players scored.  A good way to end the weekend.

The announcers also gave us important insights.  Murphy is really the best in the business, as far as I am concerned.  We learned about Tara's take on the Colorado meltdown, and we learned that Prechtel is out with a concussion protocol after a practice bump.

I agree. I am just looking at consistency, even among the backups. We were forced to use our starters a lot longer than it initially looked like we needed in the Colorado game. By pulling our starters early, we reduce injury risk and then give our players valuable experience, especially important for Van Gytenbeek, who is probably our starting point guard next year.
