Utes 'Probably' Best Team in League
If you thought the UNLV Rebels were going to be all full of themselves, thinking they're the best team in the Mountain West Conference, after stomping Brigham Young at the Marriott Center the other night, think again.
It's the Utes they seem to regard highly.
"They're probably the best team in the conference right now," forward Rene Rougeau said.
That's pretty high praise coming from a team that has owned the Utes at home in recent years. But while the Utes are searching for an inspired effort on the road in league play, the Rebels are trying to establish some consistency after early losses to TCU and Colorado State and then the beatdown of BYU. "The effort and interest is always great," coach Lon Kruger said, "but the results haven't been consistent."

Beatdown of BYU? 76-70? Are you kidding me? Hey everyone, did you see that beatdown that Cal Baptist put on the U? Never seen anything like that!!
Yeah, probably should have said "second-half beatdown." Of course, the Rebels only outscored the Cougars 46-27 on their impenetrable home floor in that game, so maybe that's a little unfair ...
