Yes. He has been. Precautionary.

A quick few thoughts on the matchup after having not read anything else beyond their stats:

RootieBoy Truly Addicted User

In fetching terrified of this matchup. They are 31 in net! Defense! 6 seniors!

Veep

Consider the level of competition. Put on your big boy pants

kansascougar

Consider Duquesne. Put on your panties

Gotta beat em anyway

fulano

I will not make it to any game but could Venmo to help get fans to games.

Q-grr

5:44pm

BYU lost to Duquesne because they came out with a completely different strategy

Nikomedes

5:44pm

60 second adjustments in each of the eight 4-minute sets.

Q-grr

5:46pm

The ONLY way BYU loses to VCU is if the refs don't let them play as physical on

SoCalCoug

5:43pm

I'd say the opposite is true. More worried about VCU playing physical.

KayakCoug

5:44pm

I didn't see it in the video posted below against George Mason.

SoCalCoug

5:45pm

A tightly called game favors byu. VCU is pretty physical on D

JoeExotic

5:44pm

BYU doesn't play all that physical..so, it should be all good

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

5:44pm

We all thought Duquense should nave been a 13 seed last year

RenoCoug

VCU does all the types of things that drive us crazy with their defense. They

BigHouse Coug

They don't look nearly as physical as Houston, Iowa State, or any team in the

SoCalCoug

5:42pm

Can they keep it up the full 40 mins?

Peterbilt

Iowa St. and AZ play like you described VCU—BYU went 3-1 against that type of D.

BYUHgrad

Our game just depends on which team shows up. The team that showed up against

BYUJoJo

Zenoch

bluecougar1985

I think it defaults to 7pm MT until the actual time is known

thewaterboy

5:36pm

No, game times are rarely exactly on the hour in the NCAA tournament

palangi

VCU a much better 11 seed than Duquesne last year

RenoCoug

I think we’re a better 6 seed than we were last year

BYU Sportz Fan

BYU is also better.

BYU '80

5:36pm

#29 by Torvik, #30 by KenPom. This is an 8-seed quality team. Expect a battle.

cougarfan84

BYU is a much better 6 seed as well

Jeffacka

5:40pm

VCU's pretty good defensively teams average 61 points against them,

CougarChaser

5:34pm

They are not a good offensive team

BYU '80

5:36pm

Average offensively. Not bad. They have two guards that can score at will.

Chefcurry

5:37pm

45% and 33% isn’t very good. Maybe average if counting all teams

The questions they asked the Chair and Vice Chair were big time softballs.

OU Cougar

5:42pm

Gonzaga #9 in Kenpom, w an 8 seed and would play Houston in round 2, ouch

Rhubarb

5:28pm

And they’re favored by 6.5 points over Georgia. Biggest spread for an 8/9 game you’ll ever see.

RdF3

5:28pm

From VCU board: They are a great defense

Xenon

5:28pm

If everyone could play defense like Houston they would. But most can’t.

ldssdl

5:30pm

I hope they go Houston style D, and I hope we finally figure something out to make them pay for it. Will make next

BackPacker

5:31pm

They aren’t Houston defensively

BYU '80

5:32pm

Yeah, but are they Iowa State on Defense? Who ARE they like on D?

Xenon

5:33pm

Who knows, they play in a weak conference

BYU '80

5:34pm

ESPN has them ranked #9 in defense...

Xenon

5:35pm

B) this game will be decided by the style of the officials.

bluecougar1985

5:33pm

Every team will try to "Go Houston" on us.

Plantagenet

5:37pm

Yeah, the real question is how close to "going Houston" can they actually DO!?!?

Xenon

5:39pm

and whether the referees call the games like they do in B12 conference games

Zenoch

5:41pm

lol so UR Arizona gets a 4. And mich and OR jump us for 5s. Why even have the AP

creameryon9th

It’s not based on the AP at all

JoeExotic

Nikomedes

It has VCU as a very slight favorite to beat BYU.

Pretty ridiculous, factoring in team strength and geography

Zerigke Ally Zerigke

Which honestly makes no sense.

JuicyJam

Not very convincing. Seems pretty flawed.
