  13-03-2018 23:36

Their hopes instead were dashed when Oregon’s Kenny Wooten pinned Sedrick Barfield’s final layup attempt to the backboard to eliminate the Utes in the quarterfinals.Utah (19-11) turns its attention to making a postseason run in

• Jazz recall Dante Exum from Stars; point guard’s return from injury could be near

  13-03-2018 23:05
  Dante Exum is in the “last stage” of what’s been a five-month process to return from a preseason shoulder injury.The Utah Jazz assigned the 6-foot-6 guard to their G League affiliate, the Salt Lake City Stars, for a closed practice Tuesday, which the team described as the final step in his arduous recovery.

  The Utah Jazz are starting two bigs, which is basically like opening Jurassic Park in modern times; it doesn’t end well. The NBA has gone away from the traditional big-man game of posting up and forcing a way to the basket.ESPN’s Zach Lowe calls the modern power forward a play-making four. They can do a little of everything. Golden State's Draymond Green is the poster child for the new power forward position. They are expected to bring the ball up the court, initiate the offense, be

  Every year, Brigham Young University political science professor Adam Brown evaluates the Legislature with a swarm of statistics. This year, even he was surprised at some unusual findings that emerged, including:• Despite hoopla about members requesting a record 1,359 bills to be drafted, lawmakers passed 533 — two fewer than last year’s record of 535, and roughly about what they have passed in recent years.
