The cost of living in Utah — thanks to expensive housing and inflation — is among the top concerns for the state’s voters this year, according to a new poll released by the Utah Foundation. Another top concern? That politicians aren’t listening.

| Aside from the five-minute or so stretch when coach Mark Pope asked for silence in the arena so players could practice free throws in that kind of tense environment, BYU was a talkative, rowdy and even playful bunch Wednesday morning as the Cougars prepared for their NCAA Tournament game against Duquesne at CHI Health Center. “I think our guys are loose. I think they’re full of energy,” Pope said during a media conference held between a closed-to-the-public practice at Creighton’s facility a few blocks west of the arena and the open-to-everyone session on the floor where BYU will make its 31st appearance in the Big Dance on Thursday. Tipoff is at 10:40 a.m. MDT and the first matchup between the Big 12′s BYU and Duquesne — a small Catholic university in Pittsburgh — since a 69-47 Dukes win on Dec. 28, 1953, in Madison Square Garden will be televised by TruTv.
