    Ovetime in Moby Arena

    I had a feeling that this might happen to the Utes tonight. We'll see if they can pull this one out.

    Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

    Utes will pull it out. Too bad the Rams couldn't have finished them off in regulation.

      They clearly haven't watched enough tape of Utah to know that holding the ball until the final 2 or 3 seconds to make your move doesn't work.

        The Utes pull it out in OT 89-79.

        Kind of feels like the opposite of a Popinga victory...I'm glad they won, but it feels like their next 3 games could turn out to be rough.

        We'll take the win though!

        I love the player that Nevill has developed into 23 Points, 14 Rebounds, 7 Blocks.

            Nevill had one block that was freaking awesome

              BYU with Nevill = maybe one loss so far this year.

                I'd buy that argument and throw in a top 5 ranking.

                  That's a team Utah should blow out.

                      yep... that was one of the better blocks I have seen

                        It was almost as good as when Albert Springs denied Brad Dougherty at the rim when the Utes and Tar Heels played in the Big Dance up at Weber State in, I believe, '86.

                          Yeah, they should have. The one positive is that I think the Utes players were feeling pretty good about themselves and I think it was pretty impressive that they had such a bad first half and really came out and fought for this victory. Yes, it should have been a bigger win. But, I will take a road win any way that the Utes can get it. They would have lost this game last year...and probably by 10+ points.

                            Its amazing how to me how players always seem to take the ball right at Nevill, Luke continues to rack up the blocks, but he also stays out of foul trouble. I am sure being 7'2 has something to do with it, but he does a nice job of being controlled.

                            Although that last play of regulation he may have gotten away with an elbow to the head of Walker.

                              A good hard elbow in the shooter's temple on the last play of regulation with the score tied is always a no call. Slap him on the wrist of the shooting hand as he's letting it fly and that's a different kettle of fish.
