When BYU beat Gonzaga, the Gonzaga guard played like garbage. Had the Gonzaga guards played half as well as they did against Utah, BYU would have lost very handily.

Utah dominated BYU. My impression was that the teams were not very close in terms of ability and performance. I think I said that in ten meetings, I would expect Utah to win 8. Maybe I said 7. (One caveat is that game for BYU was an away game, not a neutral game). But BYU has improved since then. Fischer has gotten better, more dangerous on offense. Seljaas has emerged. Team defense has improved a little.

But the biggest factor for Utah is that Utah has an potential lottery pick on its roster, and BYU doesn't. BYU doesn't have an NBA player on its roster.

Loveridge was the first major recruit for Utah in terms of their turning the program around. The first traitor. That is why he deserved an all-time disappearing act choke-job in his final appearance. Please enjoy playing in Kzyrkistan Mr. Loveridge.
