luke-nevill Stories - Mountain West Connection
11/14 Basketball Preview
(0-1) (1-0)Marriott Center 7PM MT TV: NONE BYU looks to be very difficult this year after they thrashed last years Big West champs Long Beach State on the road last week. The Cougars get a regional foe to come to the Marriott Center and this game should be beat down. BYU likes to run the floor...

The Mountain West Conference announced its 2009 basketball awards and the results aren't really surprising. Luke Nevill was named Player of the Year, while New Mexico head coach Steve Alford beat out Jim Boylen for Coach of the Year honors. The rest of the awards, along with the 1st, 2nd and...
Utes beat Rebels, lock up tournament berth?
ESPN seems to think so and I'm willing to agree, unless Utah has a last second meltdown to end the season. Of course, now it's about seeding and a win Saturday in Provo, well that would be huge at setting up a solid seed. But the Utes needed a victory over UNLV to get to this position and that...
Ice runnin' through these veins: Utes beat Rams in OT

Saturday, Utah hosted the Colorado State Rams and though they lumbered through the first half, behind Luke Nevill, Utah dominated the second on their...
