The show is on the road for the first time in Deseret News Sports Podcast history, as DeseretNews.com writers Carter Williams and Brandon Judd record from Las Vegas the scene of four conference tournaments. They discuss BYU's loss in the WCC tournament on Tuesday, and whether or not that plays a factor in their NCAA tournament bid.

They also talk about Utah's Pac-12 tournament odds, as well as the Mountain West and Western Athletic tournaments that begin Wednesday. Also, was Utah guard Delon Wright snubbed? And why have conference player of the year awards?

This and more on this week’s edition of the Deseret News Sports Podcast.
