The guys leave. Giving walk on guys a scholarship is a great story every once in a while but multiple walk on awarded scholarships and several late summer signings in a 4 year period is usually not a good thing to sustain a program. Bartley was a good late summer sign but he didn't stick.

Duke to the Mountain West!! & BYU sews up 3rd regular season WCC championship

Though the ACC is tougher top to bottom than the WCC will ever be

WCC without Gonzaga would be trash. Would we be satisfied w/ 3 titles in 8 yrs?

Martin Van Nostrand

3/1/19 11:47am

Point taken. BYU cannot compare itself to Gonzaga right now.

No one expects BYU to take over the Zags and the WCC... Another year has gone by

BYUheaven

3/1/19 11:52am

w/out Gonzaga BYU would have won the WCC autobid last year over #25 SMC

Greg4BYU

3/1/19 11:58am

BYU also would have won the autobid in 2014 and in 2015 without the Zags and...

We made the tournament plenty of times in the MWC without EVER winning the auto

BYUheaven

3/1/19 12:13pm

If Gonzaga didn't exist, the WCC would be the Big Sky/BigWest/WAC.

This is part of the problem. There are BYU fans that actually believe this.

3/1/19 12:49pm

Yup

rggee

That huge space between those groups is because of Gonzaga.

The MWC has had two recent seasons as an auto-bid league. This isn't their worst

3/1/19 3:11pm

I'm not overlooking San Francisco. This year is an anomaly.

MWC>WCC>Big West>Big Sky

Mathematically the WCC is better than the MWC.

3/1/19 5:53pm

Can you educate me? Not seeing it.

WannabeAA

3/1/19 9:21pm

Sure. Kenpom and Net Rankings, the most accurate metrics available.

NET is brand new this year. KenPom has the MW as the better league most years.

Wasn't thinking this season only, but I see how my comment can be interpreted

WannabeAA

3/1/19 10:42pm

The problem isn't that Gonzaga has gotten better.

CMuehle

3/1/19 12:13pm

^^^^this is the truth right here

BYUheaven

3/1/19 12:15pm

Yep, would love to be the Tar Heels to Duke in this conference

pegushin

3/1/19 12:16pm

It's not hard to get worse from your best ever year with your best ever player.

rggee

3/1/19 12:18pm

But to fall that far to where we are less than average since 1997?

pegushin

3/1/19 12:19pm

We would have been fine if our players didn't keep bailing to go play in Europe

BYUheaven

To the Zags credit though, they have gotten better since 2011

Parkcity_and

3/1/19 2:45pm

Yes. Gonzaga getting better has no bearing on BYU losing to sub .500 teams.

It’s not literally year after year, but the general trajectory is sadly accurate

Coop

This man gets it. It isn’t the games vs. GU. It’s the games vs. The field.

College basketball teams don't win every road game unless they are elite.

rggee

3/2/19 10:06am

Um, what? Who said that?

StalwartBraveTrue

We would have won the WCC Tournament... Right...

EternalOptimism

3/1/19 12:17pm

Rose does fine in conference tournaments against teams outside GU and UNLV on

rggee

3/1/19 12:20pm

In 13 tournaments, Rose is 17-5 against teams not named UNLV or GU

rggee

3/1/19 12:28pm

Including 9-2 in the WCC (7 tournaments)

rggee

3/1/19 12:29pm

Yeah, but a lot of those teams were stiffs.

CMuehle

3/1/19 12:42pm

Well yeah we're always in the top 3 seeds of the tournaments...that's a silly

rggee

3/1/19 12:45pm

No sillier than touting Rose's record against the bottom

I’m actually surprised how many people missed the point.

StalwartBraveTrue

And when we beat GU in the WCC finals this year......

Finishing 2nd in 3 of 8 seasons is not consistency
