Great Line to Describe Some Great Shooting
Having broken out of a slumping start just in time to help the Utes take the lead against Air Force early in the second half of their eventual 67-59 victory at Air Force last night, guard Johnnie Bryant acknowledged that he sometimes breaks from the offense when he's feeling hot.
"Sometimes," he said. "I try to be smart about it. Coach gives me the freedom to do it, so if I do it, I have to make it."
He certainly did it against the Falcons.
With the Utes still trailing 34-29 after guard Lawrence Borha buried a three-pointer, Bryant buried a three of his own -- he had made only one of his first five shots -- and started a personal tear that included two more threes in the next three minutes that helped the Utes use a 14-4 run to build a 43-38 lead that they never relinquished.
"I did it in the second half, right in front of the bench, and it went in," Bryant said. "So it was kind of like a get-out-of-jail-free pass."
