oldrugger Walk-on

us? Why would any tournament invite us? We have show zero ability to win unexpectedly. We don't always win the games we should. Why invite a predictable team that can't be Cinderella and provide drama?

Somehow it doesn't seem unique or exciting when we keep finishing 3rd. Ho Hum

coastcat

Or lose 14 games

This year we'll probably technically tie for 2nd in the WCC.

rggee

2/24/19 10:57am

Unfortunately they have these tricky things called tiebreakers.

yorksama

2/24/19 10:59am

Correct. To break the 2nd place TIE

rggee

2/24/19 11:00am

The only reason SMC wins the tiebreaker is they lost to Pepperdine and we lost

rggee

2/24/19 11:01am

If the tie is broken, it's no longer a tie.

yorksama

2/24/19 11:06am

Just for seeding purposes. Tie for 1st is regular season co-champs, for example.

rggee

2/24/19 11:14am

Good to know. Let's hang the banner.

yorksama

2/24/19 11:16am

People dont usually hang banners for 2nd place.

rggee

2/24/19 11:17am

Oh. But you made it sound like such a fantastic accomplishment.

yorksama

2/24/19 11:29am

Just saying we are likely to finish tied for 2nd rather than 4th. That's all.

rggee

2/24/19 11:30am

Some schools do though, some schools do...

BYU Fan

2/25/19 12:29pm

Nah, just parades. Haha!

rggee

2/25/19 12:34pm

So...you were in the Pac12 South Champs court

BYUHgrad

2/24/19 12:11pm

They were division co-champs. Nothing to hang a banner for.

rggee

2/24/19 12:47pm

Incorrect...they won the South outright

Gathers

2/24/19 4:52pm

My bad...thinking football. Not sure about BB

Gathers

2/24/19 4:53pm

We are talking about 2015.

rggee

2/25/19 6:45am

We will get the 4 seed and are ranked behind zags, smc, and USF in every ranking

BYUheaven

2/24/19 10:59am

Still technically 2nd place.

rggee

2/24/19 11:00am

You really think that SMC will lose to Portland?

StalwartBraveTrue

2/24/19 1:55pm

No, but they will lose to Gonzaga.

rggee

2/25/19 6:46am

Still not enough to get BYU to second.

StalwartBraveTrue

2/25/19 10:31pm

Tied for 2nd.

rggee

2/26/19 6:43am

Sure, the trend is not great, but this is not the horrible disaster that so many

Game Changer

2/24/19 11:03am

So complacent, that going nit 4 years in a row is ok

Deleted

2/24/19 11:26am

Yes a far cry from the 1-25 season!

sfeuz

2/24/19 11:48am

Agreed. I wonder how many fans who are devastated about 18 wins remember that

Game Changer

2/24/19 11:58am

Wasn't the drop off to 1-25 rapid? IIRC, Reid guided BYU to 16 wins

Y05

2/24/19 1:56pm

1-25 was very painful and seemed to last forever

coastcat

2/24/19 12:07pm

Meant for OP 20 wins certainly a solid accomplishment, no matter what people say

“On the cusp of yet another 20 win season” The anthem for the painfully mediocre.

This is the perspective you are looking for

My son has quit watching and every time I speak to him about the games

Idahofallsblue

2/24/19 11:30am

I haven’t watched an entire game this year.

2/24/19 11:57am

Here's the problem (not that it hasn't been pointed out before):

I get your point but I’m unimpressed...

Finishing 3rd every yr in one of the lesser conferences filled with tiny schools

Goliath

2/24/19 12:22pm

This has to be a troll job

BigBlue04

2/24/19 12:23pm

Lol...All the other teams on the list

2/24/19 12:58pm

It used to be that if you won 20 games, then you also had single digit losses

Y05

2/24/19 12:59pm

Yeah, surely we're one of the top 100 in all of college basketball.

The NIT is prestigious? Without looking, who won last year? Year before?

Alpi Gusto

New Jersey Institute of Technology has 20 wins this season

Very few teams play in conferences as far beneath themselves as BYU.

jackcrack7

2/24/19 3:13pm

That's pretty hilarious if you're talking about our level of basketball

Goliath

2/24/19 4:03pm

I'm not saying that BYU is a P5 but the WCC is basically the Big West+BYU/Zags

jackcrack7

2/24/19 4:08pm

We usually can't even get a 2nd place finish. This year we may be 4th.

Goliath

2/24/19 4:18pm

I think he means in terms of resources.

Y05

2/24/19 4:20pm

In that case, sure. We sure are underperformers.

Goliath

2/24/19 4:34pm

St Mary's is a much better program than BYU since we joined

HighHorse

2/24/19 4:15pm

Who cares?

If rose was at any of those elite schools he’d be fired by now

Elite?? We have never been an elite program

You capitalize odd words in odd places.

STOP!!!!!!!!!! It's the WCC and a weak NCS. The WCC has 12 built in FCS games,

18-12 with one game left. I guess you're counting the WCC tournament and CBI

fbguru

2/25/19 7:21am

All those teams you mentioned win their conferences and make noise in March

LifelongAP

2/25/19 10:04am

We are now out of the NIT and 20 games isn't good enough with more games played.

We could also get a win in the CBI or CIT tournaments
