Will not be a pushover.

Bengals are loaded to bear.

Bengals have something like 7 seniors on their team this year and are looking to win the Big Sky Conference and make some noise in the NCAA Tourney.

If the Cougars expect to sleepwalk through this game, the likely outcome will be a loss for the Cougars.

One good thing for the Cougars, though, is that the Bengals are built a lot like the Cougars. They don't play a lot of defense and are known for having somewhat of the chucker mentality. They have never seen a 3-point shot they didn't like.

Cougars should win this one, but it will be a shootout and if they Cougars aren't prepared, expect the Bengals to maul the Cougars on their way through Provo.

The Cougars played the Bengals last year at Idaho. I think they are fully aware of how explosive this team can be. The Bengals beat Utah last year. The difference last year will be the difference this year. BYU played better defense and rebounded better. If they do it again, they will win again.

What a shame. All this hard work just to lose in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. What a colossal waste of time, energy and talent. Oh well, at least I will try to enjoy the firesides.

Idaho

No they are affilated with the mighty Idaho Vandels of the WAC who just beat some lame team on the road?

At least the

Cougs will make the NCAA tourney for the foreseeable future, the same cannot be said for the utes who lack the "energy and talent" to be a competitive team in the MWC this year. Look for a bottom feeder record in the conference this year from the once mighty utes. The only question will be if the utes mbb team will match the output of the football team win they play TCU???

Hi Ernest

Still living in the past, eh? Ever plan to live in the present or is that too dangerous?
