    Louisiana Monroe

    Farleigh Dickinson
    Mount St. Mary's
    Binghamton
    Hartford
    UMBC
    Crazy. I think Rhode Island, UMBC, Towson, and Mount St. Mary's have been tournament teams in recent history. Oh how the mighty have fallen.
    Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

    For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

    Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

      Yeah, that's a regular murderer's row right there.

      Binghamton, people. Binghamton!

        I have only been slightly paying attention to how bad Utah is, but I assumed the "worst in D-1" stuff has been complete rivalry smack, and I couldn't imagine they were truly even in the bottom 1/4th in terms of D-1 schools. I looked at the massey ratings comparison page.

        http://masseyratings.com/cb/compare.htm

        Utah is #323 out of 344 teams. That is pretty damn impressive. The next worst major conference team is Boston College at #264.

          I will leave it up to you, as you seem better suited to determine where Utah ranks amongst the worst D1 teams this year. Like you, I am just happy that Utah finally won its second game. That is the most important thing here.

            I've actually been to Binghamton; not the school, just the town. Tony Kornheiser is an alumnus of the school.

                You don't like Kornheiser?

                I podcast his radio show. I love it and I bet you would since we are all roughly of the same generation.

                  Oh yeah well byu is lucky we played them at the first of the year. If Utah plays them now Utah wins.

                    With Utah's streak, and BYU's recent loss, the trend lines are certainly troubling.

                      Wait...Utah won a third game? When did this happen? This is big news!

                      Wow...just looked. Congrats Ute fans!

                        Or are you using the term "winning streak" loosely?
                        Don't be small. More than one game is a streak.

                          Yeah - I edited my initial post before I saw your response...I didn't realize the Ute's played last night.

                          Congrats on your streak!
