Everyone Wins in Utah: BYU’s Statement Win, Utah’s Wild Finish, and Utah State Becomes Bowl Eligible

Happy Thanksgiving, Spelunkers! 🦃 This week on The Matt Cave, Utah sports actually had a rare, beautiful moment — everybody won. BYU basketball handled Wisconsin in a revenge spot, Utah State became bowl eligible with a wild second-half turnaround, Utah pulled off a chaotic thriller against Kansas State, and BYU football got carried to victory by an absolutely monstrous performance from LJ Martin.

I break down:

• BYU men’s basketball locking down Wisconsin with shockingly elite defense
• Utah State shocking Fresno and keeping Mountain West title hopes alive
• Utah surviving a back-and-forth Big 12 shootout with a pick-two heard ‘round Rice-Eccles
• BYU football’s run-heavy win behind LJ Martin’s beast-mode stat line
• Why national pundits never give BYU or Utah respect (and why it’s lazy)

It’s a fun one. It’s a nerdy one. And it’s a thankful one.
 Wherever you’re celebrating this week, I hope it’s a good one. 🦃❤️
