..and not throw these same guys and coaches under the bus. It was a great win by the guys last night, it was good to see them battle, shows heart and fortitude, and I'm proud of their effort. We finally have a coach who has communicated to a group of young men that the 'U-T-A-H' on their jersey MEANS something and that they should play balls out every game. It's been too long since we've had a coaching staff and players who RESPECTED THE 'UTAH' on their jerseys.

We've won a National Championship, countless conference crowns, was in the NCAA Finals, and have a long tradition of coaches and players who've built the Utah Basketball's legacy that needs to be represented with hard work, guts, and courage. Last night's effort showed glimpses of that with the coaches and players. I know that we are a ways away from being on the same level that Utah Basketball is accustomed to, but at least we're heading in that direction.

Nice win Utes, keep fighting, thank you for respecting the jersey you're wearing by not quitting and committing to doing what needs to be done to win. This Utah fan appreciates your hard work, effort, and to leave it all on the court - win, or lose.

Go Utes!
