Ryan Smith paying "Millions" to get young at BYU (figure not specified in story), then he gonna ask the state to pay a tax to subsidize a new arena for his professional investments at some point. I'm not cool with that.

Utah is 19 in the NET.. can we stop assuming that every road loss in conference play is the de facto elimination game from the NCAA tournament? This is a Stanford team that boat raced Arizona by 20 points. And we were short-handed today. I'm still high on this team.

Hope Utah goes to Washington without any pressure. This is a top-5 team, undefeated, with playoff birth on the table. Utah won't be expected to win. Zero pressure. Going to be an incredibly tough game, but I hope the Utes rise to the challenge.

ON paper, this year's non-conference schedule is the toughest Utah has played since 2008-2009 Boylen year. The wins (St. Mary, BYU, Wake Forest) are going to pay off big. The losses (Houston, St. Johns) both look like solidly quad 1 losses. No harm. Well done Utah coaches.

Watch Keba Keita against St. Mary's during his first stretch of the 2nd half. Carlson and Lovering aren't physically as strong as he is, but I'd like to see them battle as hard as he does for rebounds. Keba is just a warrior going for boards out there. Needed him in MTE.
