Utah’s basketball season came to a rather unceremonious end a week ago at the Huntsman Center against Boise State in the NIT. As soon as the game was over, fans and media alike were asking the question, was the season a disappointment? I’m not so sure the question is so black and white, but it is an interesting one to talk about.
First, I think we need a little bit of context with some pre-season expectations. The Utes essentially rebuilt the roster, with really only two contributors coming back from the previous season with Kyle Kuzma and Lorenzo Bonam.
