Hawaii Game
UVU took Hawaii down the wire... saw it was just a one point game. I’m thinking the Wolverines will do well in conference play this year. I wouldn’t be surprised if every team has at least two or three conference losses. WAC tourney should be fun!

UVU was actually predicted to win this game according to KenPom so I am not sure the loss says much. Perhaps UVU spent a bit too much time on the beach.

I’d say a lot of teams struggle out there. The team I support in football (and my undergrad alma mater), Middle Tennessee, played in the Hawaii Bowl and the Bahamas Bowl in consecutive years. Both were fun places to go, but they lost both games and were very distracted.
I was hoping so hard that Utah Valley would’ve knocked off Kentucky. They had them on the ropes in Mark Pope’s homecoming.

That would have certainly been amazing and set a major tone for the whole season!!
