Utah Utes basketball: Tigers tamed by Utah

Utah basketball 2-0 vs the SEC this season (LSU/ Ole' Miss).

Utah football 1-0 vs the SEC (Alabama)

Its official we own the SEC!

GO UTES!!

Wow, go Utes, I knew Coach Boylen could get this kind of game out of you.
Love it.

Sounds like Boylens SOS is paying off. At 10-5, already Utah's record looks more glossy then the Y.

To Andrewute1:

Yeah but you guys can't even beat Southern Baptist or Idaho State??

TSK TSK TSK

Beat the not so good teams first in order to convince me!

Its a long season Anonymous (10:06) ... the key is to improve. I will take early weak losses for strong wins as the season goes on - any day!

Forget PAC-10, Utah should move to SEC...:)

congrats to Boylen and the Utes. They are showing toughness and improving. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

would eat UT for lunch. The Zags were clearly overrated and LSU hadn't played anyone getting that 12-1 record.

Go BYU

Why don't we see what byU can do in 2 weeks before you go spouting off. They haven't proven anything this year either. If Rose would dare play the Ags in the Spectrum, they'd likely have a 3rd loss. So, what's your signature win? Probably the win over Utah State. I'm not saying that's not a good win, but don't be so brazenly pompous all the time. Both teams have much to prove as we enter conference schedules.

Southern Bapist!

Is not a very good team. They looked horrible.

yes, Utah has had some very bad losses but it can not be denied that they have put that behind them and have built tremendous momentum going into MTN West play. To all the Y fans out there you have a solid club but you need to beat somebody before you open your mouth and no Utah State does not count if you are playing them away from the Spectrum.

Not that big of a deal.

California barely beat utah on a last second shot. Then cal beat az state. im sure utah would do fine against either team..

"would eat UT for lunch. The Zags were clearly overrated and LSU hadn't played anyone getting that 12-1 record.
Go BYU"

Land of IF and fairy tale's again?

It seems like BYU fans are repeating the IF game like their Quest for Perfection football season all over again.

Here's a fact like your football team your basketball can NOT beat ranked teams.

I won't even embarrass you with ranked teams Utah programs have beaten this year.

DISCLAIMER: The statements above are truth, not opinion. If you disagree then come back with facts not fairytale analysis of what IFs.

I'll bet these are the ewets that were calling for Hill to fire Boylen just two weeks ago and asking Whits head 2 years ago. Watch the stands go empty next year in both sports. You guys are strictly fair weather fans.

Way to play strong. Take one game at a time and get better each game. The Utes don't need to talk trash . . . don't play BYU in the paper . . . they will play BYU soon enough. Let BYU do the talking, heck, let them put it on a t-shirt, that seemed to work well enough for us in the past.

Go Utes!

LOL Utah state doesn't count unless you play them at the Spectrum? Hmmm, I always thought a good team can win anywhere, I guess I was mistaken. BTW losing to SW Baptist ISU and USU is going to hurt come tournament time. That is if you show for the conference games and the tourney. LSU has beat such great teams as Jackson State, Alcorn State, Northwestern State, Cenetary, Troy, Cal State Fullerton, Grambling, Nicholls State, McNeese State, Washington State, Louisiana Laffeyette and SE Louisiana. Wow, definitely sounds like they have played the best and won....definitely a quality win for the Utes.

RE: AZ ST and Wake | 1:53 a.m.

Are we talking basketball since both football programs are done for this year? Great job to your football team but claiming the basketball already after an 18 point loss to Okie and BYU loses by seven and is within 3 or 4 with a minute to play? Or ASU game where a basket is ruled late and thus a loss for the Cougars. Oh, the gonzaga win, the lost 3 of 4. even to Portland State. Maybe they aren't that top 25 team they started as?

The Y in big games (ASU and Wake Forest) choke down the stretch because they don't have go to big guy. Utes down the stretch against good teams (Gonzaga and LSU) don't choke because they have the MAN Neville in the middle. Utes will own the Y in basketball just as they do in football.

and the Utes played great! Coach B definitely has them headed in the right direction.
