You’re welcome, Arizona. We wore them down for you.

BYU is lethal when they hit their threes from inside out.

Fun game. I wish this was BYU v. Arizona. Ah well, still amazing game.

The St. Johns/Creighton game is going bonkers right now. Crowd is so loud

Do you remember when BYU beat Arizona in Tucson?

Yes. Yes TNT does remember that

But does Pepperidge farm?

Arizona has multiple players that can drive the ball to the hoop.

Not meaning to criticize Egor.

I'd love to see Egor slash to the rim regularly instead of waiting for the trap.

Boise State getting steamrolled for 3rd loss vs CSU. Shouldn’t make tourney.

Rexy Coug

They needed Clemson to win the ACC (they beat them).

This court sucks. Something I’d expect to see from the WCC

Or in Olympics 3 on 3.

Rexy Coug

5:59pm

Lunardi has MWC with 5 teams. That seems insane with how bad half that league is

dtownCoug

5:51pm

They won't get 5, but pretty likely 4. CSU, USU, New Mexico, and SDSU.

BYU I Bleed Blue

5:55pm

Usu, sdsu, Boise, and New Mexico all played really well and picked up good wins non conference.

RdF3

5:58pm

It’s team by team and all relative and has absolutely nothing to do with the conference

That's what I thought.

My thoughts on the former PAC 12 schools.

Houston has classier fans

archie

I hope KY goes hard after a couple guys who can beat their man off the dribble

kotacoug

100% Missing piece IMO.

Cnation

It's always been a missing piece at BYU

Tater Tots

Oh sure. Let's go back 40 years to argue the point

He can probably get a couple of guys that fit that with your $8 mil NIL donation

Not sure if you are aware but we have the $$. I support what I can. Not sure

kotacoug

Dybantsa can

pinolero

He can also shoot it over them

Cougar TD

I hope he can.

pittsburghcoug

Agree. Like a primary ball handler type. Not sure if AJ is that 🤷‍♂️

kotacoug

Let's hope he gets an Anthony Edwards clone.

BigHouse Coug

Matchups are a funny thing in sports

Carnac

Houston seem to be able to anticipate every move we make, it's a little uncanny.

BigHouse Coug

5:48pm

Great defense

Carnac

5:51pm

Forgive me for I have sinned: Watching these games has caused me to covet a guard

BYU I Bleed Blue Intervention Needed

5:42pm

Exactly what we need. But very hard to get

PING Man

5:42pm

You just described Dallin Hall.

RdF3

5:47pm

Nope, I love Dallin as a guard, but he is not twitchy fast like most of these

BYU I Bleed Blue

5:53pm

I believe in Dallin’s ability to run the team next year

cajuncoug

5:56pm

If we got that and a Mag type player, it could be enough

cajuncoug

Crazy finals in the 4X400 and it looks like BYU team will get 7th and First

Gordon Monson reads this with flashbacks of “Ball didn’t go in the hoop”.

Malathion

Colorado St has looked dangerous the last few weeks. Really hope we don't match

KayakCoug

That would be a horrible draw.

Jesse Pinkman

What makes their style of play a bad matchup for BYU?

ldssdl

They remind me of a less talented Houston. They play disruptive D and have a go

KayakCoug

Shoot if we are afraid to play Colorado State then why even accept the invite

Oh, another Houston shove to get an offensive rebound that goes unnoticed.

cougaman

They're smart, they play laws of averages knowing they can't call everything.

BigHouse Coug

5:54pm

Did Francis just knee him in the groin on purpose? Ouch, and thought they would

Rhubarb

We need a guard who can do that out of a double team.

Alabama should just pack it up too. Did you see their game today

stansburycoug

Arizona makes Houston pay for that high trap they do

Goliath CB users union organizer

5:32pm

Not sure why we struggled to beat that. Hurt us against ISU reg season game too.

monteburns

5:34pm

Not sure why we struggled?

RealSimsShadY

5:42pm

They actually have guys that can drive against tight, tough man2man defense

cajuncoug

5:34pm

They actually create the contact and then create space on the drive. We just backdribble out of it and panic pass

cougfanblue

5:35pm

This is an uncomfortably true statement

cajuncoug

5:38pm

If a NBA lottery pick can’t do that then maybe we should not recruit lottery

kotacoug

5:39pm

It has to be attacked with aggressive drives, cuts, etc. We shied away from it

Still Blue

5:38pm

It can be beat with quick smart passes. We just didn't do that either

Goliath

Sometimes you just have to risk getting blocked and turning it over.

BigHouse Coug

I want Houston to win because they came into the BIG12 with BYU

CopaCoug

BYU came into the BIG12 with the PAc refugees?

We were strait up beat by their defensive intensity. They are really that good.

Ssebo

We need better defenders all the way around.

Forzaitalia

It isn’t really a mental thing though. It’s not like they weren’t putting in

kotacoug

5:36pm

But I’ve been told by some posters that it is lunacy that we wouldn’t bring

kotacoug

5:36pm

Sometimes that reason is because the other team is better than your team.

BW84

5:38pm

That's my point.

pittsburghcoug

5:44pm

If we can’t get someone better I wouldn’t mind a guy like Veesar

TADOW

You’re probably right. I’m just saying it must have been a gut punch.

Traveshamockery

5:26pm

My concern is that we didn't or couldn't make adjustments from the last game.

BigHouse Coug

5:21pm

We adjusted offensively. Keita played so good in the 2nd half. Defense - not so much

TADOW

We ended up scoring less points than before.

Offensive basket interference to end the half

Plus two hand shove to the back of the defender boxing out.

Big Daddy D

Why that wasn’t reviewed is mind-boggling

Littlerich

5:13pm

Can’t a coach ask for the review?

airbug

They have to call it to review it

Remigius

Which makes no sense. If it can be reviewed when they call it, it should be reviewable when they don’t call it
