@ Pacific chit-chat

Ball game. Oh well. Decent season. We'll get em in 2016.

ha ha. Ugh. Frustrating game. Brilliant start, slowly deteriorated after that. Pacific is a team that shoots the 3 well, hits FTs, quick guards, decent post player in gill. They are a decent team who isn't great at anything, but adequate at nearly everything. The Honda of the WCC team.

This team just has no balls on the road. Everyone folds.

Agreed. Mental toughness on the road is lacking.

We should be the top dog in this league every year without question. Instead we are a tier 2 WCC program. That fact is embarrassing, and I am permanently lowering my expectations of BYU bball.

Nail in the coffin there. We don't deserve to play in the NCAA tournament if we can't beat Pacific.



Pathetic, Cougs.

BYU shooting 41.7% Pacific shooting 53.8 including 50% from long.



Won't win games if a team is hitting at that pace.

PAcific has nearly posted a 20 point advantage in the 2nd half.

When every game on the road turns into a career night for some nobody then it's clear your defense sucks. Unfortunately, there's not much you can do to fix bad D. That's a talent issue, and we don't have any on that end.



How does the 2014-2015 team look? We lose Mika. Anybody with game on both ends joining up?

Fouls are sure being called fast on BYU it seems.

Rose isn't playing the best defensive players. Winder should be getting more min. Sub Halford for Winder.

Nate Austin with the big steal!



Guess there is still a chance, but we need to get stops and make buckets.

Wow Austin what a play!

They'll make it look close, but this team does not get stops on the road. Even the games we won we couldn't get them we simply outscored them. This is not a legit team.

Nailed it.

Actually, BYU can't get stops AND they're only shooting about 42%. Bad combo.

Add Mika to the list of BYU players who got softer and worse hops during his tenure. Geez.

Seriously, he was so explosive at the beginning of season. So soft now.

Wonder how much of that is because he is dealing with issues from all the injuries he's taken this year.

Rose has Winder and Bartley at his disposal for defensive purposes and neglects to use them.......Winder should have gotten more of Halford's minutes this game because dobby was a little overmatched this game

This is another one on Haws. When he goes cold, BYU goes cold. Opponents will keep dogging Haws.



I tried to warn in another thread - Pacific has been red hot and BYU has cooled off.
