In this episode of The Matt Cave, Matt dives into the latest Utah sports drama.

He starts with a detailed breakdown of Real Salt Lake’s dismal season opener—highlighting their possession versus finishing woes.

Matt then rants about the Utah Jazz, who are winning games they should be losing in order to tank for a better draft pick, and shifts to the Utah Hockey Club, criticizing their defensive lapses despite offensive sparks.

Finally, he covers college basketball, comparing the recent successes and challenges of both the University of Utah and BYU as they eye NCAA Tournament spots.
