Just an FYI.

My 7 year old son is there tonight with my dad while I watch from home in CA. He called me several times during the women's game, but it's so noisy during the men's game that I couldn't hear a thing that he was saying.

This is his first trip to the Y, at least that he'll remember, and he has had a great day. He gave Cosmo a high five and sat right behind Samuelson earlier and waved to him. The indoctrination has begun....

Is this another stiff, Hartford?

Are we waiting until Friday to determine what the quality of the team is?

Teams that win 4 games by an average of 30 points per game don't suck. We're ranked 31st in the country right now. Of course, if we lose to the #6 team in the country, I'm sure that will somehow relegate us to a sub #100 team in your eyes.

I haven't seen the team play so I'm asking honestly whether we're playing average teams and are much better or if we're simply playing bad teams.

I expect to lose to a number six team without knowing more, but something in me keeps nagging that the team might throw a few surprises.

One reason, in seasons when BYU has toured abroad, they come into the season with more continuity and confidence. I could be wrong, so thus I ask.

I've watched the first 10 minutes of the Hartford game, and I have to say I am impressed. Call me crazy, but I don't think it's out of the question that we win a game in the dance.

Tonight's game was my first look at the team, and I was very impressed. They took a little bit to get going and slacked a bit in the 2nd half when they got up by 30 or so, but that's forgivable. I'm looking forward to seeing how they do against a real team. We'll be ranked next week if we beat Louisville, although I wonder how likely that is.

Their center Padgett is out for a few weeks, a nice opportunity to steal a win in a city we're familiar with.

But it's at the Orleans and I will in Utah of all places.
