The Utes played their first regular season basketball game on Friday night against SUU at the Huntsman Center. Alison, Ada and I went with my Dad to the game. Ada was simlpy amazing during the game she didn't make a peep for the first half and the first 10 minutes of the second half. She then fell asleep and only cried a little bit during the last 38 seconds because her daddy was yelling a little too loudly and startling her. It was a good game. The Utes started off both halves very well - building 10 point leads in each. They struggled to close out the halves though and SUU on the other hand struggled at the beginning of the halves and played great closing them out. Because of this, the Utes lost by 3 to the Thunderbirds of Cedar City. Not a great way to start the year...
I still think that Utah will be a pretty good team. They have a lot of new (young) faces and it may take a little time for them to learn Giacoletti's system and mesh as a team. I believe that they have a ton of talent though. Once they all learn to play to each other's strengths, the Utes should be a pretty good team.
