I used to do this with my swim team. In that sport, it serves a practical purpose.
But here the motivation is pure badassness...I like this.
The fact that they all agreed to do it says a lot.
Will Patrick Hazel be shaven?

Check out the new team look heading into the NCAA tournament:

Coach Buzz Williams, of course, was all in favor of the idea.
"It was the first thing our guys wanted to talk about yesterday before practice -- if I would have a problem with them shaving their hair off," he said Tuesday night. "I told them I had no problem with it. To my surprise today, when we watched film this afternoon, they all had done it, including (graduate managers) Jamie (McNeilly) and Logan (Bean).
"Obviously, I think it's a great look."
Only two players didn't partake: Dominic James and Liam McMorrow.
James' excuse was that he's now a coach, and not a player.

They look fired up... I am liking how they do things. Great team chemistry and will only bring them closer for the tourney.
Burke, Butler and Matthews look fierce, watch out USU they loook hungry
That's great! Maybe we'll be even quicker now with less wind resistance.
I always thought Clark Kellogg looked like a bald Dom.

pretty sweet! I wonder how they all look....especially Rob haha
I recognized Butler and Burke right away, but I actually didn't recognize Matthews at first with the headband and shaved head. I had to do a double take. Anyone else have that problem?

I like the look, hate the headbands. If it helps them get psyched and together as this type of thing sometimes does, I'm all for it. Whatever it takes.
I like it, it is better than the mohawk look that seems to be all the rage these days. (IMO)
It shows team unity and will get attention from the talking heads at the sports desk. (no pun intended) It will send a message about how the players feel about their coach. ;D
Now lets hope they can buzz cut some teams in the tournament.
It's going to make it harder to figure out who is who on the court when watching on tv. I think it's pretty stupid looking, but if they players like it, more power to them.
Hope they have good hats to keep those noggins warm.
Any fans making the trip willing to get "buzzed" as a show of support?
I buzzed on Saturday in anticipation for this.

Me too
I buzzed just before the BE tournament
I love the new look. Agree they do look fierce. Makes them look older... especially Butler... maybe a good impression to make, since I read that Utah State team members range older, 22-26.
Can't wait for the women's team to make the tourney. :)

Anyone have other players photos w/ shaved head?
I'm usually buzzed. Oh wait - you're talking about hair. :P

I get buzzed twice a week. I can't remember the last time I bought shampoo! lol
Love the look (obviously)...Now let's kick some Mormon ass!!
Anyone got the bald monkey look?
all the guys except jimmy seem to be wearing hats
Its hard to tell because my web feed is bad, but did the entire team shave their heads for the tournament? Good team unity haha.
Looks that way. Jimmy and Wes are wearing headbands along with Lazar.
