As much as BYU needs to win out, it needs the selection committee to remember that it beat Louisville (so what that the Cards were depleted by injuries?) and also forget that loss at Boise State in December. Where should the Mountain West Conference tournament be played? 2 I DICKSON: I'd be for having the tournament back in Denver.
