Utah’s seven game winning streak over Colorado came to an end Friday night in Boulder, where Utah played terrrrrrrible basketball. Ok, the first 10 or so minutes was ok, with some good ball movement and cutting on offense, and the defense was pretty solid, but from that point on, not a lot of good happened. Utah missed a ton of easy shots, they played a bit too much hero ball, and started to rely too much on the three, which wasn’t even an option that should have been considered when they were shooting as poorly as they were.
It’s not like Colorado was playing great either, yeah, they got hot in the second half from beyond the arc, but if Utah would have been able to string together some coherent offensive possessions they could have made a run at the Buffs.
