LAS VEGAS — Las Vegas seems to be the place where the BYU-Utah rivalry goes to be rekindled.
After BYU’s blowout loss to Saint Mary’s, and Utah’s upsetting loss to Cal in the quarterfinals of the Pac-12 Tournament, the Cougars and Utes may be headed on a collision course in the second-tier National Invitation Tournament postseason event.
Noted NIT bracketologist John Templon of nycbuckets.com currently lists BYU as No. 3 seed and Utah as a No. 4 seed in the same region of the NIT, according to his latest projection published Friday morning. The Cougars would host Fresno State in the first round of the tournament, while Colorado State would travel to Salt Lake City to face the Utes.
