The road trip with games on Friday and Sunday is academic friendly. Boise should be a win, but who's counting. UTEP is going to hurt us. When we get back home we could still be .500 in the WAC at 8-8. Anybody know the handicaping odds on these two games this weekend?

why are we playing on Friday this week anyway? I assume it was driven by the Bracket Buster thing.

As for this week, I think we will be a small underdog at Boise and a large dog at Utep. Boise is a tossup in my book, if we are healthy with Simpson and Roberts back I like our chances. If not, I don't.

Don't count that win at Boise as a sure thing. Remember we had our hands full with Montana St in the mountains. Any conference road win by any amount is a great win.

Probably because everyone but us and La Tech played on Monday this week. Normal Saturday games were moved to Monday because of BB. That means kids are already missing 1 day of class this week. By moving games to Friday/Sunday, they only miss 1 more, which makes it like a normal week (2 days missed).
