BYU vs. #12 Wichita State game thread

Bad news: we're not playing well.



Good news: Neither are they and we're leading at the half.

Way to close it out. I want the ball in Bartley's hands more!

Cardiac kids are killing my heart!

Make FT's. Get Haws going. We win.

Like the way Wrubel calling this game a tale of 2/3. The turnover by KC when up by 13 started the avalanche. Carlino picks us up and keeps us in the game by himself. We need KC, Haws and Mike to contribute. FT 7-13.

Schmoe I was going to post good news/bad news as well.



Good news- BYU is going toe to toe with the #12 team in the country.

Bad news- Wichita state seems to have the zone figured out, and to a large degree our offense. This is similar to the Texas game and the Iowa State game. I wouldn't mind seeing the defense changed up after 10 minutes in the first half to make Wichita state's offense make more adjustments. Alas, we will probably see zone the rest of the game.

Was thinking the same thing. Good things happen when Bartley's in the game.

We could have a fabulous five with MC, TH, KC, NM and FB all contributing.

Keys for victory:



1. Haws heats up in the 2nd half.

2. BYU improves rebounding.

3. The team makes 73% of FT.

BYU will have to make nearly all their second half FTs to make 73%. Right now I'd say impossible.

HA HA. Just found out my dad, brother, and brother in law all made it to the game. Didn't invite me of course. :angry:

Wow, quick stat from CougarStats



27 allowed offensive rebounds in the last 3 halfs basketball played by BYU. ugh

Another bad news for BYU- if WS heats up from 3 at all, BYU will be in some trouble.

Haws, when baker is in the corner, you are no longer in zone. You are playing denial defense.

Can't be missing layups now, come on...

Again, collinsworth appears to get mugged, but all Early has to do is throw his arms into the defender and gets the call

Crap guys. Our interior D truly is a joke. Can anyone get up to contest a shot or grab a board? These guys aren't even UT big.

kind of sad that I celebrate each made FT.

9-17 for the all whites. Unbelievable, well not really anymore I guess. And another offensive board.

HOLY K%$$^^$%^$$^$^$ get a rebound!~!!!!~!!!!!!!@!@ Wow and make a layup. OMG!!!!!!
