Considering the Utes for All-Conference Honors
Maybe you've seen our predictions for the major awards in the Mountain West Conference this season, but there's also the matter of the second and third All-Conference teams for which we need to vote.
And I have a ballot.
So expect at least one vote for senior guard Johnnie Bryant on the second-team All-MWC, and one for junior center Luke Nevill on the third team. The Utes also nominated guard Lawrence Borha for defensive player of the year, but while he has been pretty good at slowing opposing stars, I'm not sure he has been a better defender than New Mexico's J.R. Giddens.
Of course, there's still time to be convinced otherwise, about anybody. Thoughts?

If you want me to summarize why Utah has scraped by this season with a 16-12, 7-8 record, this is why: The best two guys on our team are second and third-team conference selections. Utah is not going to win any conference titles with inferior talent. When the top-producing player (Nevill) on your team averages 14.7 points and 6.5 rebounds, you have serious problems. Johnnie Bryant is the only other Utah player to average double-figures in points.
