I'm sure this is a dumb question re: BYU and Utah.

[Jazz Spazz]

BYU fan doing any schedule talk is just silly. Absolutely silly. Even when Utah goes out and schedules nothing but non-conference cupcakes, their schedule is better than BYU's.

BYU, no one cares. Go away.

hai, welcome to the board. I appreciate your post, it's nice to get fresh takes every once in a while.

He's not a BYU fan. Weber State. But I think he pretty much cleaned up this topic well. It's really stupid for you guys to theoretically take a step up in conference, though with the way the MWC is in basketball right now that's totally debateable anyway, and then ruin any advantage that the conference schedule gives you in RPI by playing bar none the weakest ooc anybody's ever seen. It's a good way to protect a coaches job for a few years, it's not a good way to build a program. You get better by taking lumps against better teams, not by hiding and building up a false belief that you're actually good by winning against crap. Utah's Coach K is a string puller.

Completely wrong. 100% wrong. In order to compete, you need recruits.

Going out last year and finishing the season on that winning streak was huge for Utah. They have gotten some amazing recruits since then. Going out this year and getting 18-20 wins and a NIT bid would be amazing as well. If Coach K can keep getting top 25 classes, then in two years Utah can go out and get a better OOC schedule and shoot for the tourney. Going out this year and scheduling 5 losses to help with their RPI is stupid if you are only going to get 14 wins. Better to get 23 wins against GARBAGE teams, be a bubble team and miss the tourney, go on a run in the NIT.

You keep using that term. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Not a half bad dunk contest for BYU last night, especially considering BYU oftentimes(including last year) wouldn't even be able to hold a dunk contest due to lack of explosive jumping ability on their roster year in year out:

Last year BYU won by 3, were supposed to be a lot better and the game was in Provo. 9 seems a little big of a win. Almost as bad as Vegas giving Stanford 7.5
