success in March.

But I still think it’s fair to say even if missions are a net negative for basketball development, there may still be some advantages as well.

Funny thing, the 'old' reference appears to be aimed at Keita and Fouss, two

I read “old” as experienced.

We're one of the youngest teams in the tournament. Our starting lineup consists

Keba does look like he's 35.

I don't see 35 year olds with that physique

I don’t think they’re necessarily wrong though

Given BYU's March Madness track record, not sure it is helping much.

BYU's claim to fame is the most appearances in MM without a FF appearance.

What do you think I’m arguing

RealTaysomHill

Mar 21, 10:34am

I agreed with most of what you said. Had a slightly different conclusion. NBD.

Then why doesn’t everyone do it?

It’s an overall net negative. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t still positives

Meh. We're just another team... who ain't being addressed on THEIR sports board.

Bad matchup for him

arizonacougarfan

Mar 21, 8:22am

It seems that Traore and Keta were effective.

Plantagenet

Mar 21, 8:42am

They play Bosko when they go 5-out and want to pull bigs from the middle

Parker Schnabel

Mar 21, 9:08am

He is also better at guarding bigs who shoot the three. He will play tomorrow

A few of them are extremely confident....saying they are quite a bit better.

wildeone

Mar 21, 8:21am

Every fanbase has those people who are overly confident in their own team

Schultz is back

Mar 21, 8:26am

They took Arizona to the woodshed 103-88, granted that was early in the year

Mar 21, 8:40am

I agree. Imagine what BYU was like early in the season. However, I predict

The challenge with the "Houston" plan is that you actually need UH players.

TheWanderer

Mar 21, 8:55am

Especially if the refs aren’t expecting it from your play style. I gotta think

Okayyy.

They are a 3 seed

So is Iowa St. and we know how that went, twice.

Reading their board they definitely are more complimentary of BYU than VCU.

TheWanderer

Mar 21, 8:28am

Your first paragraph indicates that Wisconsin fans act like they belong.

hamaca

Wisconsin has been here before.

TheWanderer

It’s easier to take us seriously after we won a first-round game.

Black Sunshine

Mar 21, 11:23am

To follow the “Houston plan” they need Houston players

I would disagree

I wouldn't say we lack depth at the big positions. Boscovic rocks.

I'm a hack

CLCougar

Mar 21, 8:47am

Let them sit back in a patient, well disciplined defense. The teams that beat us press us in the half court

TADOW

Mar 21, 8:55am

Maybe better to be patient and not sit back.

Plantagenet

Mar 21, 9:14am

Absolutely agree with you here. VCU would have been killed if they hadn't

StoneyCurtis

Mar 21, 10:33am

Disagree that Wisc's style of defense will cause more trouble then VCU-type.

Is Saunders really an “undersized” combo guard?

thirdgencoug

He’s an undersized SF if he’s undersized at all

To a casual observer he might appear to be that w all his film driving the lane.

"BYU doesn't play well at away games" Umm.. I guess they are ignoring our late season wins against AZ and ISU that..

The high turnover rate from Egor has been directly tied to teams that can bring heavy, physical pressure
