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. 🦃❤️

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
