"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Currently ranked No. 9 in the country, a shoo-in for the NCAA tournament and still in the hunt for the Pac-12 title, the Utah men\u2019s basketball team is experiencing a resurgence this season that\u2019s reminding people of the old days. Before the Utes (21-4, 11-2) tip off at Oregon (19-8, 9-5), center Dallin Bachynski had some thoughts to share in this week\u2019s Sunday Sit Down.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SI.com: Eight seconds left, game on the line \u2014 which current college basketball player do you want taking the big shot? You can\u2019t pick a teammate.&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bachynski:&lt;/strong&gt; Shoot, I don\u2019t have too many friends on my team already, now you want me to go against them? I\u2019d probably say Bo Barnes from Arizona State. The reason is partially, my brother (Jordan) played at ASU so I know about him, but also I\u2019ve met Bo and he\u2019s a good guy as well as a good shooter.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who do you want defending the big shot? You also can\u2019t pick a teammate.&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Man, come on! Can I pick someone who used to be a teammate?\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Only if he transferred and is currently playing somewhere else. &lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Man. I think we\u2019ve got the best defenders in the Pac-12 so it\u2019s tough, this is hard.&amp;nbsp; I\u2019ll go with Stanley Johnson (from Arizona).\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why is your team better than people think? &lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Because we\u2019re deeper than people think.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;WINN: Duke climbs to No. 2 in latest Power Rankings &lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What one weird thing do you keep in your backpack or basketball bag? &lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My tooth.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;(Shudders)&lt;/em&gt; &lt;strong&gt;What?! Can I have an explanation? That\u2019s so gross. &lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I got my tooth knocked out early in the year, so I have my flipper. I call it my tooth but it\u2019s technically a bridge. &lt;em&gt;(Takes bridge out, holds up triumphantly while giving big grin and showing off missing tooth.) &lt;/em&gt;I don\u2019t play with it, so it\u2019s just in my bag. I used to wear a mouthguard, then I lost my tooth playing with one, so now, I don\u2019t wear one.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;(Recoils in horror)&lt;/em&gt; &lt;strong&gt;O.K. Thanks for, uh, showing me... &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who\u2019s your favorite follow on Twitter? &lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I never use Twitter. But one of the best people to follow would probably be Will Ferrell. Who couldn\u2019t use a good laugh?\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who\u2019s your celebrity crush?&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jennifer Aniston.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Best dunk you\u2019ve done or seen live? &lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of Aaron Gordon\u2019s at Arizona last year. It was a reverse, coming baseline that surprised me. I didn\u2019t think it was going to happen and then he just rose up above everybody \u2026\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You know, after we started this I realized I should have asked what\u2019s worse \u2014 missing an easy dunk or getting dunked on. &lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I\u2019d say getting dunked on, just because there\u2019s more humiliation.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Favorite March Madness memory?&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Being from Canada it\u2019s hard, because I didn\u2019t get to watch as much. But I remember one time, watching it with all my buddies and I had picked pretty much half the bracket perfect, then I got the last game wrong.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You\u2019re an NBA GM with the first pick in the 2015 draft \u2014 who are you taking and why? &lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I\u2019ve gotta say (Jahlil) Okafor (from Duke). A freshman having that much skill and footwork, with that big of a body, you can\u2019t go wrong.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In their primes, are you taking LeBron or Kobe?&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kobe was unbelievable in his prime but I\u2019m going to take LeBron. He\u2019s more of a team player. Being on the Utes and being a team, having guys that care about each other, I\u2019d want another guy like that.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What\u2019s the dumbest mistake you\u2019ve ever made on a basketball court?&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well the off-the-court list is just terrible. Mistake after mistake \u2026 but we\u2019re not going to talk about that. On the court, I\u2019d probably say, we were getting pressed once, I caught the ball coming back and they were coming toward me. So I faked the pass, dribbled, faked another pass and dribbled again, thinking I hadn\u2019t used my dribble.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is Coach Krystkowiak\u2019s favorite phrase to say in practice? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just a saying, instead of yelling, it would be \u201CRight on cue!\u201D But if he\u2019s yelling at us, probably \u201CTake care of the ball!\u201D because sometimes in practice we throw the ball around the gym. Not to &lt;em&gt;each other&lt;/em&gt;, just around the gym.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which venue do you most want to play in?&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Madison Square Garden. So much history there, such a great atmosphere.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who on your team would make the best coach someday and why?&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jeremy Olsen. I might be a little biased because he\u2019s one of my good friends, but he understands the game of basketball and he\u2019s got a lot of energy and he\u2019s a happy guy. He\u2019d make a good coaching atmosphere, making sure kids don\u2019t get down on themselves. He can still get on you if you\u2019re messing up, but he\u2019d be a good choice.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which teammate would you sing a karaoke duet with, and what\u2019s your song of choice?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Guaranteed Jeremy Olsen, because he\u2019s got a song going in his head all the time. Just for him, I would have to say \u201CA Whole New World\u201D from Aladdin. I\u2019ll take the girl\u2019s part at least.\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
