And of Colorado (beat USC three times, and something like eight straight). I figured it was a given that I was talking about in the tournament.

I'm not super excited about the hire, but hope it works out. https://sports.betmgm.com/en/blog/college-basketball-coaching-changes-tracker-grades/ Guy who wrote above article likes the hire a lot more than me. Almost embarrassingly positive assessment: Quote Utah – Craig Smith Grade: A+ Larry Krystkowiak rebuilt the Utes into a stable program in annual contention for Pac-12 titles and NCAA Tournament bids but never got over the hump. He went 45-42 (26-29, Pac-12) over the last three years. A disciple of Tim Miles, Craig Smith is a former lower-division coach who rebuilt South Dakota and went 74-23 in three seasons at Utah State. He’s done well identifying lower-ranked recruits and built one of the nation’s best defensive teams. Rumored to be a potential candidate Minnesota, the 48-year-old Minnesota native signed an extension at Utah State just four weeks ago. Prediction: Smith will win a Pac-12 Championship and reach (at least) the Elite Eight within five years at Utah. This will prove to be one of the best hires in college basketball this decade.

MrBug708 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 UCLA not having a rim protector is going to be a problem this game. That and Juzang's inability to defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoastFan Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I'm gathering the champagne cork hasn't been popped by Ute fans here. What are the main concerns? Given the lack of interest on the part of the two NBA assistants, who would have been a better hire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mano Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 UCLA shooting lights out to end the half with double digit lead. Getting 3 teams into the Elite Eight would be sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
