Mountain West Conference Tournament is Here!

The Utes had the final practice at Ute Field today for this week...as we will travel tomorrow to Las Vegas to take part in the MWC tournament....6 teams...1 trophy and the winner gets an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament...Exciting!

You may already know about our 2-1 win over the Air Force Academy last Friday. With the victory, we clinched the 2nd seed in the tournament. Check out the story by clicking here!

Tuesday is a busy day. Because we traveled to Colorado last week. The players had to do some catching up on school. We will be missing classes the rest of the week. So some students are busy taking some tests and getting some projects in. We will fly to Las Vegas (about a 1 hour flight) at 1 PM Mountain time. We will go straight to UNLV for a short practice...then get to the hotel to quickly change and get ready for the big banquet with the other teams.

On Wednesday, we will watch the TCU - San Diego State game at 12 Noon...as we play the winner. Then we will train at 3 PM to get ready! Our first game will be on Thursday at 12 Noon. The game will be aired live on TV on the mtn. channel. There will also be live stats and other information available at the Mountain West Conference tournament web site...click here!
