On Sunday against No. 24 Wyoming, the No. 16 Utes proved that's not all they can do. Utah shut down the Cowgirl offense and grabbed every rebound in sight en route to a 67-53 win that enabled the Utes to claim the regular season MWC Championship outright.

The U baseball team is still searching for its first win of the season after dropping all four games it played over the weekend against UC-Davis to fall to 0-7 on the season. Bill Kinneberg's group came oh-so-close to notching that victory against the Aggies on Sunday.
