That's a weird goal; I'd never even think of setting a goal for SDSU to be better than Gonzaga.BlueIsBetter wrote:They did well enough to stay in the game.

We still need a point guard that can break the press and pass the ball. Our uptempo game is non-existent.

The idea is to beat Gonzaga. SDSU isn't as good as Gonzaga.

Re: BYU will be a great team next year
Mixed emotions about this. On the bright side, it showed that BYU can hang with some elite teams. On the dark side, I'm still fuming about that first overtime and how close BYU was to stepping into the spotlight. It's even more painful when it appears BYU would have had an excellent shot against pitt.craigoscarson wrote:http://espn.go.com/ncb/boxscore?gameId=400608515

Re: BYU will be a great team next year
It was our game to lose last night. Hopefully it gave us some confidence and made us hungry for when we play our next ranked opponent.BroncoBot wrote:Mixed emotions about this.

Re: BYU will be a great team next year
Not sure how this was BYUs to win. They trailed the whole game except to tie at the end. But I guess.

Hawaii beat Pittsburgh, are they also really really good? Beating Pitt is a good win, but not that good.craigoscarson wrote:http://espn.go.com/ncb/boxscore?gameId=400608515

There is still plenty of time in the season for things to go either way. Lack of a point guard and terrible defense is going to bite the cougars. It has once already.

Happy Thanksgiving Blue. My Thanksgiving wish for you is that BYU plays a game that you enjoy as much as your pumpkin pie.BlueIsBetter wrote:Hawaii beat Pittsburgh, are they also really really good?

Re: BYU will be a great team next year
Since when does it matter who leads during the game? It all comes down to the final score. Anyone watching this game has to have seen several opportunities where BYU had their chances to win. SDSU is a very good team and will win some big games. Interestingly, they also have no true dominating point guard.Cougs_Rule wrote:Not sure how this was BYUs to win.
