Improving the Utes' Chances -- Legally
Remember how my Mountain West Conference preseason prediction ballot had San Diego State third, one spot ahead of the Utes?
Yeah, well, I'm taking it back.
While the Aztecs have a roster loaded with returning talent, it looks like a good deal of that talent could spend the season in legal trouble.
Forward Lorrenzo Wade has been suspended indefinitely and charged with a first-degree felony for allegedly stealing a television out of a woman's apartment in the middle of the night, while a bench warrant has been issued for guard Richie Williams, who failed to attend a program related to his drunken-driving conviction last season.
And as if that and the long list of discipline problems the Aztecs have endured are not embarrassing enough, coach Steve Fisher said he did not even realize Williams had not completed the terms of his punishment until he was told about an article describing it posted on the San Diego Union-Tribune web site.
So revise my ballot -- Utes third, New Mexico fourth, and whichever Aztecs are still roaming around free fifth.
