Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak never wanted his team's youth to remain the dominant story line of this basketball season. At some point, that theme may be all the program has in its favor.
Ute freshmen Timmy Allen, Both Gach and Riley Battin produced 40 points Saturday in an 88-70 defeat of Washington State, Utah’s 10th-straight win over the Cougars. The question going forward is how much those three have to keep improving for the season to viewed as satisfactory.
Krystkowiak hoped inexperience wouldn't become an excuse for a losing record, and he wanted Sedrick Barefield, Parker Van Dyke and graduate transfer Novak Topalovic to maximize their senior years.
