The Utah bunch have been scored on eight times during the final quarter hour this season, preventing them from assuming the West perch. 

"It's hard for me to say I'm content because I guess I look at it more game to game, and I see the points that we've dropped," Kreis told the Deseret News. "If we had done a better job of that, we'd have a lot more points - we'd be in first place by a ways."

"I think there's been some very positive things and there's been some not-so positive things," he added. "I still feel like we're moving in the right direction."
