BYU's Chances in Las Vegas Tonight

It's probably not a good bet to take BYU over UNLV tonight in the semi-finals of the MWC tournament.

Zero is where the ball usually lands based on BYU's record against the Rebels in Las Vegas during the last 5 years. The Cougars are 0-6 in that time frame.

You can't beat the house odds in Las Vegas and UNLV is the house, unless you are really feeling it.

That certainly describes Jimmer Fredette. The BYU junior guard certainly felt it last night against TCU. He put up 45 points in the Cougars 95-85 win over the Frogs.

This will be a game of hot hands from beyond the arc. The team that shoots it best from the three line will win.

The game tips at 9:30 pm Mountain Time and will be televised on CBS C. Incidentally, Las Vegas odds makers have the Cougars as a 1 point favorite.

We are putting our money and mojo on this guy and going to let it ride all the way to a MWC Tournament Championship.
