I said earlier than I didn’t mind BYU pulling VCU. But now seeing all the stats

I actually like that a lot of people are billing it as high upset potential.

The upsets that are predicted by experts are never the ones that happen

I hope so too, because that last game against Houston was not encouraging.

After watching VCU more I am convinced that if we lose it will be because

True - And that’s the concern. How often BYU has not played “their game” in the tourney. It’s actually the exception for

Yeah. The concern for sure, but it is less about the matchup than it is about us

Right. If we don't show up, anyone in the tourney can beat us. VCU is a good

Saw a stat that VCU’s vaunted defense ranks #88 against top 100 opponents.

After looking more closely at this matchup with VCU, I’m convinced that if we

Fouss and Keita can play bully ball down low. That will force a second defender

Fous, not Keita. (Originally autocorrected Fous to Focus)

Rebounds? Defense?

Ok, that is fair. Good points

I really hope we got this one like I think.

Teams may hamper Demin but none of them contain him.

Plantagenet

Houston & ISU forced us to remove him for signif stretches of the game.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 19, 12:05pm

That said, I don't think VCU has a defender that can do that to Demin. I assume

BYU is easily the better team. VCU has to pray BYU has a horrible off night

What factors make BYU a clearly better team? Neither conference affiliation

I think you're on the wrong board

I’m sorry it’s more fun for me to actually know what makes BYU the clear better

Polecat

Past poor tournament performance has no bearing on what the future holds

It's not an entirely different team - lots of key players remain

BYU Fan

Mar 19, 7:32am

Exactly. All new coaches. 60% of starters new. Last year is irrelevant.

Cosmos-beard-card

Mar 19, 9:31am

Well, not entirely since some players were in fact on the team that lost last

Polecat

Yup. It’s the fans who have PTSD. Players and coaches will come to compete.

If it were PTSD fans would cease with the grand predictions. It’s buying into
