Utah coughed up a 14-point second-half lead against Washington, looking lost for long stretches in a 74-68 loss at the Huntsman Center.
January 6, 2022, Salt Lake City, UT: The University of Utah Utes Men’s Basketball team takes on the Washington Huskies at the Jon M. Huntsman Center in Salt Lake City, Utah on Thursday, January 6, 2022. The University of Utah basketball team is in a bad place right now.
“I just thought we got really tentative and not in attack mode,” Utah head coach Craig Smith said. “We lost or aggression, and they ended the game scoring on 16 of the last 20 possessions, I believe. We have to be a lot better closing out games.” Out of that stoppage, Washington turned Utah over again, eventually getting another 3-pointer from Matthews Jr., this one from the left baseline to make 68-59. In what has turned into a recent problem, Utah turned the ball over 19 times. This, after a combined 35 turnovers at Oregon State and Oregon last week.
The early going of this game featured Washington unleashing a 2-3 zone in which the wings extended out and a defender dropping down in order to clog up the high post. That tactic proved effective for a while, but a wholesale lineup change by Smith changed the tone of the game.
