Utes Stay on Track to Avoid Late-Night Tourney Bracket
We're not going to lie about it.
We needed the Utes to win that game at Air Force last night, if they're going to grab the fourth or fifth seed and avoid the late-night, deadline games at the Mountain West Conference tournament next month.
(Yeah, it's all about us writers ...)
But I'm still most surprised by coach Jeff Reynolds' reaction to the loss -- sounding almost as if he's already reached the end of his rope, barely halfway through his first season with the Falcons.
"I did a bad job," he said.
Wow.
At least he wasn't Heath Scrhroyer.
The Wyoming coach watched his lowly Cowboys mail in another dreadful loss, this time at New Mexico -- where J.R. Giddens erupted for a career-high 36 points in a 100-55 victory at The Pit.
That left the Utes in a tie with the Lobos for fourth place in the league, with a big game against San Diego State coming up next weekend. The Aztecs dropped into third place with a 68-62 loss at TCU on Saturday, a game they played without forward Kyle Spain, who was suspended indefinitely Friday for a violation of team policy.
In other action, UNLV maintained its hold on second place with a with a 68-51 victory over Colorado State that gave coach Lon Kruger the 400th win of his distinguished career.

Will somebody please tell Jeff Reynolds to loosen up his tie and/or collar? He's got the skin tight collar going on with his dress shirt, and I honestly don't think he could synch his tie any closer to his throat without choking himself.
