West Virginia loses TWO games, and drops THREE spots?!

Georgetown loses to RUTGERS, and drops THREE spots?!

Wisconsin loses at HOME, and drops THREE spots?!

Texas loses....AGAIN....and drops.... ONE spot?! When they are clearly on a slide losing...

If standings are the same at the end of the season as they are now, here would be the MWC tournament matchups:

First round:
UNM vs Wyoming
BYU vs TCU
UNLV vs Utah
SDSU vs CSU

Likely second round:
UNM vs SDSU
BYU vs UNLV

Likely championship:
UNM...

Our expected RPI would be 10 .

Of the 16 candidates for the Oscar Robertson Player of the Year Award, BYU's Jimmer Fredette is the only name on a team west of Texas.

Also, Jonathan Tavernari gets some love from Vitale BABY for being one of the top 5 6th-men in the nation:

I was so worried that with Tyler Kepkay graduating there wouldn't be a go-to guy for me to pin my hopes on a ute loss. 4 years of Martha Hendersen is going to be awesome. Dude is 12.5% from 3 tonight.

Go lobos!

Who knew that Deron Williams is a former Cougar?

A loss at home to Louisville is worse than any loss we have this year (especially considering ours were all on the road) so for those negative nellies that are still down after UNLV, here's the team and coach that people are calling the likely...

Mon. Feb. 08-
#1 Kansas 80, #14 Texas 68

BYU will be playing without Lamont Morgan Jr. (whose surgery is completed and went well), and Brandon Davies is unlikely. You think we still win? ;)

Get in your predictions here:

Hmm another letdown for UNLV.

Here is the overall seed list:

Here is the bracket:

Of note :
#13- New Mexico (4 Seed)
#20- BYU (5 Seed)
#24- UNLV (6 Seed)
#42- Tulsa (11 Seed)
#47- Arizona (12 Seed)
#49- Utah State (13 Seed)
#54- Weber State (14 Seed)

BYU opens up...

I haven't seen this posted anywhere else, but it appears that Lamont Morgan Jr. will be out indefinitely with arthroscopic surgery on his knee. I think Loyd Jr. will do a good job of picking up the extra minutes, but will see how BYU responds to...

They will be doing the same intro they used to start the Utah game at the New Mexico game on the 27th.

If you didn't get a chance to see or hear about the intro.... this is the player introduction similar to what the LA Lakers do where they turn...

So I just went to the Marriott Center and got tickets for the game on the 27th and it looks like this game may be sold out before then. Hopefully this game turns out to be a great one for the Cougars and a great final home game for JT, Miles, and...

Check out BYU's seeding in the updated bracketology:

I would love to see this work out. With this seeding I say we make it to the sweet 16 playing Kentucky.

He came back guns blaring , Utah coach Jim Boylen said of the suspension. It probably shouldn't surprise anybody. He was focused and ready. :bug:

Any of you guys ever come out with your guns blaring ? I remember one time when I had my stereo...

Who do you think gets seeded higher, UNM or BYU? Unless BYU wins the Las Vegas Invitational I think UNM gets seeded higher.

RPI Rankings:
UNM - 9
BYU - 19
UNLV - 34
SDSU - 42

RPI Top 50 Wins:
UNM - Cal, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, SDSU, UNLV
BYU -...

The last time BYU had a seed better than 8 :
-We won a March Madness game.
-Was in 1993.

If BYU gets an 8 or 12 seed, yes, we may get an ugly match-up that we lose yet again. But if we get a 7, or a 6, or a 5, I still feel pretty good about our...

BYU, New Mexico, and UNLV are all tied in conference play with 7-2 records. The two losses for each team are:

BYU: @ UNLV, @ UNM
New Mexico: @SDSU, UNLV
UNLV: @BYU, Utah

So far, BYU is the only team that has lost the games that I think people...

Tennessee (ranked #12) must really stink because they just lost big to Vanderbilt on the road. They definitely don't have a chance at winning their conference tourney or winning a game in the NCAA tourney. They are just absolutely terrible. :P Sound...

Who do you cheer for in this game?

I am hoping for a Lobo win because we still play them at the MC. If we win out we would then be in sole possession of 1st place in the conference.

I'm really not gonna complain, only a drop of one. Actually, I'm pretty happy with this, and fair too. Even if you apply the -2 rule, that puts at a 6 seed, and I think that rule will be less harsh the higher you get up. For example, if we were...
