Contending for the League Title?
It's about time for all of those college basketball preview magazines to start hitting the store shelves, and I've found at least one early version online that says the Utes "could be in contention for the MWC title."
The catch?
I'm not sure the writer really knows the league, past reading a few stat sheets.
Which is not to say the Utes cannot contend for the title, just that it's probably worth not getting too worked up over the ratings of a site whose writer admits to sometimes getting the Mountain West confused with the WAC.
Still, the writer rates center Luke Nevill as the second-best player in the league behind Wyoming's Brandon Ewing -- just so you know, Luke, BYU's Trent Plaisted is No. 4 -- and said the Utes can contend if Nevill and guard Johnnie Bryant "can get a bit more help." Which, all in all, is probably a pretty fair assessment.
