BYU and Utah are missing out on the party in the Mountain West

A write up from the SLC Trib about how awesome the MWC is and how pathetic Utah's attempts in the Pac-12 are and BYU is fairing only slightly better, dropping both contests to Saint Mary's so far in the WCC.

Utah

MIght actually be worse in the MWC, and BYU thinks they are better than the WCC schools.

Utah II

The Utah basketball program has a rich tradition. Yeah, i get they suck now, but they were the strongest program since the MW conference was formed.

As for Boise they have little/no basketball tradition.

I agree

Utah was a top-3 program out West for years under Majerus but since then just a few good seasons.

Agreed

The MWC had three strong basketball programs. SDSU, BYU and Utah.

Out of 12 seasons, Utah and BYU each shared or won the conference title outright 7 times and SDSU 6 times.

The teams under Majerus

were as ‘almost’ good as any team in the country. I had faith they could be an elite team on any given night. Coach K has LOTS of work to do to restore the program. I hope he is up to the task.

Boylen slowly destroyed the program. He is one of the worst Head Coaches I have ever seen.
