Maybe all of the water isn't entirely under the bridge yet, between coaches Jim Boylen and Heath Schroyer, even after three games between the Utes and Wyoming Cowboys have passed without incident since the men engaged an post-game shouting match over a controversial alley-oop dunk.

Why do we wonder?

Although he gave Boylen and the Utes plenty of credit for what they have accomplished this season -- "Jim has done a great job," Schroyer said -- the Wyoming coach also made a point during his post-game press conference late last night to praise Boylen's much-maligned predecessor, Ray Giacoletti, for recruiting the players with whom Boylen is now winning. The implication seemed to be that Boylen hasn't yet proved he can win without having had a full cupboard of talent left for him -- a particularly nasty jab given how little regard exists for Giacoletti within the Utah community.

"I give Jim a lot of credit," Schroyer said. "I also give Ray Giacoletti, the former coach at Utah, a lot of credit for bringing on so many of these guys and having the foresight to put that team together. They have everything.

"Years ago, they brought in young players -- Nevill, Green, all those guys were so young," Schroyer added. "They got their butts kicked for awhile. But now as juniors and seniors, they're really good. They've got four, five guys that have played together for so long. They're mature. They don't get rattled. They've got as good of a post presence as there is in the country offensively right now, and they put four guys around him that can shoot 'em. ... They can make a serious run in the NCAA Tournament."
