Jazz and Mammoth Weekly Round-Up (11/26)

Beehive Sports Report | Talking About Utah’s... ·

2025/11/26

The Utah Jazz and Utah Mammoth are trending in opposite directions. The Jazz, with their young core and handful of veterans, are starting to show signs of incompetence. Lineups aren't competitive, the perimeter defense is lackluster, and they're getting blown out of the gym more often than not. Offense is too reliant on Lauri Markkanen, and the young guys just aren't developed enough yet. The Mammoth have had a good week. They had a fantastic bounce back performance in a close game against the

Walker Kessler's Tragic Injury

2025/11/11

The Utah Jazz are quietly one of the NBA’s best stories this season. After a shaky start last year, the team has flipped the switch — jumping nearly five points in offensive rating from 111.2 to 115.6, with a faster pace, better ball movement, and more consistent scoring across the board. Lauri Markkanen is leading the charge again, Keyonte George is finding his rhythm as a floor general, and the Jazz bench — one of the deepest in the league — is finally producing night after night.But no storyline

BYU Basketball is So Fun to Watch

2025/11/06

The hype was real — and AJ Dybantsa delivered. In BYU’s season-opening win over Villanova, the freshman phenom dropped 21 points, grabbed six rebounds, and showed exactly why he’s being called one of the most NBA-ready players college basketball has seen in years. But this wasn’t a one-man show. Keba Keita dominated the paint, Rob Wright kept the offense humming, and Richie Saunders made winning plays all over the floor as the Cougars closed out a gritty 71–66 victory in Las Vegas.In this episode,

The Utah Mammoth aren’t just the NHL’s newest story — they’re becoming one of its best. After a scorching start to the season that’s turned heads across the league, the Mammoth look less like an expansion curiosity and more like a bona fide Stanley Cup contender. In this episode, we break down exactly why: from Logan Cooley’s breakout goal-scoring tear and Nick Schmaltz’s veteran consistency, to the coaching precision of André Tourigny and the stellar goalie tandem of Vítěk Vaněček and Karel

Utah isn’t supposed to compete with L.A. or Texas — but it keeps doing it anyway.

In this episode, we unpack why Utah keeps overachieving — tracing the underdog DNA that runs through every locker room and front office in the

The Holy War delivered — and BYU walked out of LES with a win that’ll echo through the Big 12 race. From LJ Martin’s bruising start to Bear Bachmeier’s highlight-reel hurdles, the Cougars showed poise, physicality, and playmaking when it mattered most. Utah’s defense flashed early dominance, but costly penalties, red zone struggles, and two brutal turnovers flipped the game on its head.We’ll break down every turning point — from Utah’s failed 4th-down calls and muffed punt to Bachmeier’s third-down

The AP Poll dropped this week, and once again BYU fans are left shaking their heads. After two dominant wins to open the 2025 season—including a 69-0 shutout of Portland State and a 27-3 dismantling of Stanford—the Cougars are still sitting outside the Top 25.
