Keep it up Cougs. You have a football season to erase from our memories.
GO COUGS!At least they can win at something finally.
Just like the EWU game, awesome team effort. Collabro kept talking about who was going to step up for Moore and Capers but it has been by committee. Sure the opponents haven't been anything stiff yet (like the powerhouse Albany Great Danes) but they are playing fantastic half-court D and blending transition scoring with a proper half-court offense.

Go COUGS!!!!!
Wait, UVU has an actual basketball team? That plays other schools and stuff? My brother goes to UVU, and it's practically a community college.
 @Vexorg UVU is the largest public university in Utah.... They have 33,000+ students.Â
 @PackersCougsBravesSounders  @Vexorg Which is pretty big, but Bellevue College (which is the second largest in Washington next to UW) has close to 40,000.
 @Vexorg It's either second or third, depending on where you look. CCS has 38,600 and BC has roughly the same so it's debatable. Washington's population also ranks 13th while Utah is 36th.Â
 @PackersCougsBravesSounders  @Vexorg Yep UVU is a university, used to be a state college. It's a legit university, although all of us at BYU still give crap to people who go there because it's like a giant high school!!!
