Matt dives into a packed Utah sports week with a full Olympic recap, NBA controversy, college basketball reactions, and the start of the MLS season.

He breaks down how Utah-based Olympians performed on the world stage, including Clayton Keller’s gold medal performance, Olli Määttä’s bronze, and standout moments from Utah’s winter athletes. From Breezy Johnson’s mental toughness to Chris Lillis proving critics wrong, Matt celebrates the local impact at the Games.

Then it’s time for the Utah Jazz tank debate. Matt addresses the growing national criticism, Adam Silver’s role, Sam Presti’s influence, and ESPN personalities weighing in. Is the Jazz rebuild strategic or being unfairly targeted?

College basketball gets the spotlight next:

• Utah’s rebuilding culture under Coach Jensen
• Utah State’s late-game concerns and Mountain West outlook
• BYU’s roster construction debate, Kevin Young’s coaching evaluation, and whether the Cougars can still make a tournament run

Finally, Matt previews Real Salt Lake’s season opener, early concerns, Diego Luna’s absence, and what expectations look like in an interrupted MLS season.

Olympics. NBA politics. College hoops frustration. MLS questions.
It’s all here in this week’s Utah sports deep dive.
