Game Preview

http://www.burntorangenation.com/2013/11/25/5137574/texas-longhorns-basketball-get-to-know-the-byu-cougars



Running the attack for BYU is point guard Matt Carlino. Carlino is the sort of high volume shooter that doesn't look as good as he might otherwise when viewed through the lens of tempo-free statistics. He is mostly a jump shooter with a past history of turnover issues, although this season he has protected the ball well. While on the floor he is hoisting one out of every three shot attempts for BYU. Frankly, the more he shoots, the better it will be for the Texas Longhorns. He is more dangerous when he is making plays for others than when he is forced to shoot himself.



More worrisome is Tyler Haws, a 6-5 wing who knows how to score. When the Cougars are prevented from shooting quickly, Haws becomes their go to player in the half-court. While only appearing in three games, Haws has averaged 26 PPG.



Carlino's running buddies are often 6-3 Anson Winder and 6-6 Kyle Collinsworth. Winder lives off of shot opportunities created by Carlino in transition, while the versatile Collinsworth can handle the ball, rebound, and score. Big man Eric Mika also fills well in transition, while the 6-11 Nate Austin is BYU's best rebounder.



BYU is less powerful on defense, but the Cougars do a nice job of cleaning up on the boards, which is essential for a team that wants to run.

During its home loss to Iowa State, BYU's offense was held back by poor shooting. Iowa State's compact defense forced Rose's team to frequently settle for difficult shots. The Cougars will take the first remotely reasonable shot of the possession. To hold down BYU, Texas will need to make sure as many of those attempts as possible are contested mid-range jump shots, and not easy layups or wide open threes.

DVR is set and by the time I get home the game will be 3/4 done. Looking forward to it.



Go Cougs!

Nice preview MizzouCoug. This week will tell a lot about this team. I predict an 11 point BYU win....87-76. Go Cougs!

I'm really hoping for a strong showing from Mika and Carlino in this game. For us to have a special season, those two more than anyone else need to step up to Haws like levels.

crap, none of my links are working tonight...

The 3's will stop falling. If we can't man up against these guys it might get ugly.

Mika has got to develop a move to his right shoulder. We see this every year with our bigs. None of them have any post moves or don't develop them until their career is almost over. What exactly does Pope do for our team again?

Great play Bartley. We need his and Winder's athleticism in games like this. I'm very happy to see Rose recognize that fact.

Lovin Bartley's game this season.



He's going to be good.

one half left to play. BYU getting beat up on offensive boards.



We are making Texas' bigs look like shaq.

Man, bench Haws for Bartley right now or at least bring in Bartley for Austin

What's up with Haws?

junior slump? :skeptic:

Man, we suck inside on D'

cougarfan87, this is a game where BYU REALLY needs to know how to play one on one. It would eliminate a lot of these offensive rebounds.



man, texas seems to get able to get a lot more contact than BYU in what i've seen so far.

We are playing like chicks

Game over.

Worthington is useless......Bronson would help a lot tonight

As always against big teams we have no defensive answer and some nobody who can't do anything vs. D2 schools owns us.



Unfortunately, as always, we'll keep it close and lose close unless someone grows some killer instinct, but I'm not holding my breath.

Freakin refs have two standards.
