Trade deadline quiet as Utah Jazz are stuck as is--Deseret News
Other years the Jazz acquired Jeff Hornacek or future draft picks that included players such as Ronnie Brewer and Gordon Hayward. But it's iffy business. In 1998, they thought they had landed center Rony Seikaly in exchange for Chris Morris and Greg Foster, but Seikaly didn't report, so the deal fizzled. Gordan Giricek for DeShawn Stevenson wasn't a great move, but Stevenson had what seemed unresolvable issues with Jerry Sloan.
You win some and lose some, but this year the Jazz didn't do either. So they remain the 10th or 12th-best team in the Western Conference. They still have too many defensive lapses and not enough perimeter shooters. Al Jefferson still misses the kick-out when three guys collapse, Hayward still acts unsure and C.J. Miles still tantalizes but disappoints.
Utah Jazz need overtime to beat 'pesky' Timberwolves, 111-105--Deseret News
In the overtime period, Millsap hounded the T-Wolves for three of his game-high eight steals, including one that led to a go-ahead slam dunk by leading-scorer Gordon Hayward (26 points) with 56.9 seconds remaining.
...
Fortunately for the Jazz, they had a bunch of players who also proved to be tough competitors on this night as they bounced back from a rough loss in Phoenix on Wednesday.
Hayward led the way, again playing very well off the bench with his game-high 26 points on 9-for-17 shooting.
Utah Jazz-Minnesota Timberwolves: Instant analysis--Deseret News
The young shall lead: Once again, Utah Jazz fans caught a glimpse into the future, and perhaps by indications tonight, the present. Promising youngsters Gordon Hayward, Derrick Favors, and Alec Burks were able to contribute mightily to the game’s outcome.
Hayward continued to show increased confidence off the bench, shooting shots in rhythm. Doing much of his damage from the perimeter, the second-year man paced the Jazz with 26 points, three assists, and three rebounds. He played with great poise as he capitalized on many aggressive plays on the offensive end.

9:57 pm ET, TruTV, No. 2 Kansas vs. No. 15 Detroit, Omaha: Detroit is arguably the most talented No. 15 seed of all time. They have a McDonald’s all-american at the point in Ray McCallum and a pair of talented and athletic big men. They press and they forced turnovers, and we all know how Tyshawn Taylor has had turnovers issues this season.

#2 Kansas vs. #15 Detroit, 9:57 in Omaha (TruTV). The Jayhawks simply cannot lose this game. It won’t happen. Too overpowering, too dominant, too deep, and they never lose to an inferior opponent in March. It’s not happening.
The Line: Kansas by 14. The Pick: Kansas -14. I’d take Kansas if it was -34.

IRATE IZZO: At least three times, the MSU coach stomped his feet and growled at his players as intensely as he has all season. Brandon Wood took a poor shot on a busted play that led to a transition three. You could hear the undressing from the other side of the court.

Tough tests coming
Izzo was annoyed at guards Brandon Wood and Travis Trice, and reminded his team at halftime of the Tournament's tumult. You figured once Missouri lost, all the high seeds would get the point. But as someone more clever than me pointed out, Missouri loves company.
