  • Nice win Utah

    They hung on. Good win. Though I think Gonzaga is overrated. I'd take that win any day of the week.

    Even though the Zags have now lost 4 out of 5, that's a good win for Utah.

      I'll take the win and be very happy about it. This is a very good win for Boylen right now with this team.

      Gonzaga has struggled the last few games, but it is still one of the better teams in the country. It's up to the team whether this will give them some confidence or if it's just a fluke. If they can build on this, they can have a nice season - not a great one, but nice. I would define a nice season as somewhere in the upper middle of the conference.

        I am ecstatic about it because now the Zags should fall out of the top 25 and make room for the Cougars. Though if they take care of things themselves they'll be there regardless.

        Boylen did need this win. The Utes and their fans needed this win.

            I agree that the fans needed the win, but I'll predict that if the Utes lose to LSU next week, they'll be calling for Boylen's head as there are far too many idiots with ridiculous expectations for this team.

            BYU just has to take care of business in order to have a great season. Your boys have their destiny in their own hands. I wouldn't expect the Zags to fall out of the Top 25 just yet - basketball coaches and writers are a bit more forgiving about these kinds of losses, especially with how consistently good the team has been with Few at the helm.

            I have to add that it's good to see a team with Giacoletti on staff continue it's losing way in the Huntsman Center. He deserves years of bad things after driving Utah basketball into the ground.

              Stickback? Are you referencing Gillen's comment about getting an offensive rebound and scoring immediately from it?

                Yes I am and it was bugging the hell out of me. I have never heard it called that. I thought it was a putback.

                    I am sure Dr. Chris Hill is sitting somewhere on Bourban St. with a smile on his face because of this.

                    Or it could be he has a hand full of beads ready to give away to the young ladies that earn them.

                      That has to be a good feeling.

                          It is. It would be like LSU coming into LES and losing.

                            Utes played very tough. I am beginning to fear Boylen!

                            Seriously, I went and looked at the conference RPI's and the MWC is above the SEC in 6th place, even with the dogs of AFA, CSU, TCU and WYO. After BYU beats WF the conference will be looking very stout.
