Another thing byu has going for them is that they dont have any of the worst kind of losses (home losses against bad teams)

Only lost once at home and it was by 2 points to iowa state.
 
I'm excited to watch BYU. Can you imagine if they made a serious run?

Not going to happen, but now I want it to happen. Can you imagine the whiny posts from the doubters?
Can't imagine rooting for a winning team in Miss Sip Pee tbh.

I actually think Oregon is a 50-50 game.. but those are the blue glasses... more like a 40-60 in favor of Oregon.
Kentucky should beat Kstate unless they lay an egg, but I don't think I see them go farther.
I could see Utah winning 2 games in the NIT, and possibly farther depending on the match ups.
 
How far will the Utes go in the NCAA's?


Just kidding Ute fans.
Personally, I don't think BYU deserved to get in, especially since injuries were supposed to be a consideration.
 
Utes get a real taste of what the typical WCC team is like tonight. Pestering guards that can shoot 3's, and annoying post players. That sums up the WCC actually - a lot of punchable opposing players. You guys are going love Brad Waldo.
 
Is texas on the level of any of those teams? byu beat them. Gonzaga? Byu beat them too

The really good teams that byu lost too (witchita state, iowa state, etc) byu played very tough.

Don't forget they lost to the Utes.


I had to throw that out.


I couldn't help myself.
 
Anybody pick Texas over Michigan?

I know, I know, it sounds retarded, but it's all a matchup thing for me. Texas wiped the floor with a similar style team (allbeit not nearly as good) in West Virginia so I think they matchup pretty well. Plus, Michigan is extremely small and Texas can cause they're offense problems. But I'm not even sure Texas wins they're first-round game. They are a very weird team.

I think Arizona State takes them out..... Well, as long as Bachynski doesn't get in foul trouble early.

Looking over the schedule of the first two days of games, I'm most interested in watching:

BYU/Oregon
Arizona State/Texas and/or (they are on at the same time) San Diego State/New Mexico State

Friday:

Weber State/Arizona and/or(overlap) Creighton/La Lafeyette
Gonzaga/Ok St.

Yeah, I'm not sure Texas will get by ASU, but if they do they would be a much tougher matchup for Michigan imo.

Definitely interested in that Creighton game as well and, of course, the KSU v UK game. People are really sleeping on KSU. Not saying they'll win, but the penciling in of the UK/Wichita St matchup is a bit shortsighted

I like KSU…I just don't think that they can handle the size of UK.

Tough to say. The media thought no one would be able to, hence that preseason number one rank. I do have UK winning but I don't feel very confident about the pick.

Either way, it's going to be the UGLIest of games.
