Utah has its schedule completed. So why is that important? Because they play ISU and U of I, but they might just play Bradley as well!

Tom Crean's twittering so eloquently plays the victim role. I will believe they are back when they win some Big Ten games.
"There is no doubt. Our competitors liked it better when we had our problems last year.
As some schools were trying to step on our throats we are getting new life. We are getting our air back. Its time to get our SWAG BACK!!!!!!"
