Another reason some people hypothesize this young Ute team has talent is that it is a good shooting team and has demonstrated the ability to light up the scoreboard, which most informed people agree takes athleticism and basketball skills.
Majerus' first season was his multiple bypass surgery season. It was the next year that the Utes went onto go something like 31-4 behind Josh Grant, Walter Watts and Co.
