because wincing implies they didn't see this coming. I'm a season ticket holder and only miss home games if we are on football road trips, and I was not surprised at all by the outcome as we tracked it in Tucson. Utah fans should have expected this. If this team wins more than 7 games I'd be shocked, and if they win double digit games Larry should win PAC coach of the year. Anyone shocked by that outcome hasn't been following Utah basketball very closely.
This doesn't mean it is not embarrassing, but it is also far from surprising
