After an upset loss to UNLV earlier in the week, Utah kept its postseason hopes alive as the team earned a come-from-behind 59-54 victory over rival BYU.

Utah left Bakersfield with three wins and improved its record to 4-4 on the season, with all four games ending in a scoring-fest for the Utes, as they scored a combined 39 runs in the three days of play.

The Utah women's tennis team hadn't won a match in two weeks. Ditto for the men's squad.

Now is a crucial time for this team to reveal its identity. The monster will soon receive its invitation to the dance. Now it has to prove it belongs there.

Both the men's and women's tennis teams are looking to get on the winning track this weekend as they prepare to take on two Western Athletic Conference teams.

The Runnin' Utes have played a lot of big games this season, but the game Saturday against BYU might be as big as it gets in the regular season.

A week after getting its first taste of dirt, the U baseball team will look to improve against Cal State Bakersfield this weekend.

I have to admit (because I lost a bet to Chronicle Sports Editor Tony Pizza) that the Utes are the best team in the Mountain West Conference. Nevill is a potential MWC Player of the Year and the U has earned its trip to the NCAA Tournament.

After starting out the season with a hopeful 7-3 record, the Utes dropped five games at the Wildcat Invitational.

UNLV was able to upset the Utes 68-55, thanks in large part to its defense holding Utah below 33 percent shooting from the floor.
