Basketball: BYU strikes it rich in Vegas

highest ranked win in 40+ years?? what about BYU 93 - #2 Pitt 73 in the Marriott Center 12/23/86 -- get your facts straight

Re: Go Cougs...

The TV didn't show it, but Louisville banked a half court shot as time ran out to cut the lead to two.

Uteman was probably a Cougar fan sarcastically showing how stupid the Ute's football posts have been this year.

The sad thing is the "Ute Posters" have so destroyed their credibility, that every poster thinks it was real.

Proving once again, that like a "little brother", when they can't compete on the field or court, they amuse themselves acting stupid.

Ute fans, really, go get a program, or give respect to a real program.

Great game COUGARS And as for utefan The names says it all

I was pleasantly surprised to see how well we did against their press. (Well, maybe not surprised--I hoped Coach Rose noticed how bad we did against the last team in that.)

It wasn't surprising, though, to see Tavernari do well because of two factors: 1) he's experienced enough to do well against good competition, and 2) he didn't have that great of a game the last game. Top players usually don't have to mediocre outings in a row.

Let's hope that against NC Jimmer gets hot like he did in the last home win. We might need all cylinders going against them, especially becuase they'll likely try to really shut Trent down.

If we win against NC, we'll likely get ranked nicely. If we lose closely, we still might crack the top 25. However, if we get blown out, they'll just repeat the mantra about getting lucky against a depleted Louisville team.

I have confidence in Rose's ability to keep his players grounded, so am expecting a good game. Sure glad it's on TV tonight.

Hey i don't think anybody is talking about the match up with the big men tonight. How about Hansbrough and Plaisted. They have to slow down Ellington who is averaging 17ppg a game and Hansbrough averaging 23ppg if the have a chance.

Go cougars lets take down the utes and the top team in the land in the same day. Hey Chirstmas Might come early this year boys!!

utefan is an imposter. Cougars had a great win last night unfortunately I couldn't find it on the TV in Florida. Congrats cougs. Hopefully the basketball team can keep you from jumping off a bridge after you get pasted by the Utes. Utes by 5.

If you remember back in august Louisville football was #6 as well and a depleated Utah Team killed them bad. Maybe Louisville is overrated in every sport. Sike BYU doesn't get Lucky like Utah we wasted them. Byu will play a close game with UNC. But BYU won't get ranked because louisville is overrated.
