Thoughts/predictions on the Utah game

Post by Cougs_Rule »

I'm not sure what to think. If Loveridge has been out but they still beat the Shockers, what does that say about that team?
Glad BYU I has a lot of big men to throw at their 7footer, Poopoo. Peepee? What's his name?
Will BYU fall behind in the first half only to rally behind their typical second half barage?
BYU 75- Utah 72. In a squeaker.

I am hoping this is one of the games that Fischer is just draining shot after shot after shot.

Two things to watch:
- how well it's BYU shooting the 3 early
- how tightly are the officials calling the game early

Hot early shooting by the Cougars will put a lot of offensive pressure on the Utes to score more often, increasing the pace of the game, something that benefits BYU and something the Utes don't want to do.

A tightly called game early, can get Utah into foul trouble which will limit their ability to clutch and grab and play "aggressive" defense.

I think both half and BYU wins semi-convincingly. 80-67


BYU PER W/L Since 1972: 432-76 (.850)
(8.4x
YDS)+(330xTD)+(100xCOM)-(200xINT)

BYU 82 Utah 77

Loveridge out helps. We'll have to be hot from the outside, but Haws making frequent trips to the line gets us past the Pukes.

Should be a good game. Disappointed that it is on ESPNU. Will the game sell out?

It should. School is still in session, right?

Suspect there will be plenty of Utes there.

I predict that there will be a bunch of idiot utes at the game, and win or lose, they will say a bunch of stupid stuff.

Game is officially sold out. Which means the Pukers are coming.
