All the Way

CEDAR CITY, Utah -- It's not every year you have a small school like Southern Utah University produce a basketball squad that has the potential to go to the NCAA tournament.

Off to one of their best starts since 2006, the SUU Thunderbirds have the depth and star power on the team this year to turn a few heads and drop some jaws. Already grabbing two big wins on the road, the team looks to build on this momentum later this week as they face the Running Rebels of UNLV.

Led by strong guards like Jason Richardson, Brandon Better, and Kenton Eskridge, the T-Birds show young talent and veterans that can lead the attack this season. Supported by strong forwards like Dwayne Morgan and Jacob Calloway the team shows talent across the board and could compete with top schools on different levels.

Aside from getting inside their own heads the Thunderbirds, just need to avoid simple mistakes and maintained focused. The chemistry on the team is another factor that will get them far this year. Their core players seems to get everyone involved and pick everyone up when mistake are made.

With just another road game before coming home, SUU will have a pretty good remaining schedule and could easily win the Big Sky Conference this year. The toughness of this team will another factor that will carry them far and will look to keep that is they want to win against big schools like Weber State and Montana.

Taco'ing to Strangers CEDAR CITY, Utah --This past Tuesday, I gathered a diverse group of student with different cultural background to experience one of Cedar City's best local Mexican restaurants called Lupitas. One of the best things about SUU is the cultural diversity that gives this place a worldly energy. A place that no matter your cultural background you can find your place among caring and supportive community members. If just for a moment you feel lost, there is someone their to walk this new path with you and guide you.
