Not to mention we now get to see the re-emergence of the Ute and ISU trolls....

I think he's just an uncoordinated oaf, that's it. Game over though. This one is on the offensive rebounding.

Flagrant 2 - frustration settling in. These guys play to their level - they win the game.

Robert Anae must be in the building.

Game over.



I like pushing the ball but we need a bit of a half court set that don't just call for Haws to come off a screen.

Why can't these guys foul within 15 seconds - they take too long to stop the clock. This game they didn't bring their A game.

And BYU lets the Shockers run 20 seconds off the clock before fouling.... :skeptic:

Hey if were assigning blame, Bush must also be there.

The game has not been ref'd very well. Momentum killer.

BYU getting blown out at FT line. Amazing way to lose.

Rose needs to start rewarding efficiency rather than letting Carlino and Haws try to scatter-gun their way out of slumps in crunch time.

BYU hasn't had a decent half court game for years.

Mika needs to learn to rebound.

Embarrassing game for team - need to show up under the lights and quit chocking. Hopefully we will learn from this game.

Wow. How do you turn a 1 point game with 5:39 to go into a 13 point lop-sided loss by fouling the other team?

Best FG percentage - Mika (3-6). Should play inside-outside game. We had same problem last year when we lived and died by the long ball. Also need to put foot to the throat when building a large lead. Very disappointing loss - it seems that they haven't learned their lesson yet.

The team simply can't and won't ever be able to rebound or shoot FT's well. Unless we rotate different players in there.

I think he'd be a lot better at it if BYU would run man defense. No excuse of course, but BYU has GOT to learn some man if they want to get better.



BYU can't expect to win a game where they give up 17 o-boards and shoot 30 percent from the field. and close to zero percent fg% the last 10 minutes of the game. And your playing the #12 team in the country. Terrible 2nd half. lucky it was that close.

Agreed. It can't be hurry and shoot every possession.

You make 0 FGs, and have a flagarant and a technical foul. AND let their pg who averages less than 10 points a game dominate you.



Props to WSU, they are a solid team. Would love to have them in the MC, but then, they would probably beat us there as well.
