In the conference’s preseason polls, Utah and Air Force were both tied as favorites to win the conference. Robert Morris came in behind us, but had actually received more “1st-place votes” than had Utah. Utah had already beaten Air Force in Colorado Springs last week, 10-8, and will face Robert Morris next week in Salt Lake City. If we beat RMU, the regular season title will be all but wrapped up, and will ensure we get the #1 seed in the conference tournament in Huntsville, AL next month.
It’s almost guaranteed that Utah, AFA, and RMU will be first three seeds in that tournament, but who that final 4th seed will be is still TBD.
GO UTES!!!
[** P.S.: With losses this week by #13 Boston, #15 Duke, #16 North Carolina, #17 Richmond, #18 Villanova, and #20 Massachusetts, Utah will most likely re-enter the Top-20 when Monday’s polls are released. **]
