OT: Utah Valley St

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Almost knocked off UK last night then got clobbered by Duke tonight. Brutal first two games. Who are these guys? Is this part of a tournament ? Who schedules like that?

low majors play big programs for a pay day just like FCS schools do in football

UVU is in the WAC and right now are in the top half of the Ken Pom rankings.

They were a juco up until about 15 years ago.

I saw them play the other night - almost the entire team transferred in from somewhere else and Kwintin Williams would be one of the younger players on that team.

They look like an under-40 rec league team.

They're definitely a real school. They were Utah Valley State College for a while but now it's UVU. They are in Orem, Utah, just a short drive from BYU in Provo. They have a pretty nice stadium. I've been to a basketball game and a concert there. It's a pretty nice campus.

Who'd you see at the concert? Pat Boone?

Evanescence. It was years ago.
