BYU vs. UNLV

I am hating this game, second half just started, but i becoming very apparent that winning this is going to take A LOT....

BYU is blowing it... again.



A victory in this game would have given us a VERY good chance at winning the conference tourney (we play SDSU well).

An MWC tourney victory would have gotten us a 4 seed.



Instead, this one is looking worse and worse. We lose this and I guarantee we're looking at a 6/7 seed, a first round opponent that will be more physical than us, and another embarrassing first round exit.

Jimmer better turn it on or we will NOT NOT NOT even have a chance of winning this game.

ps - what does it take to get Jimmer to the line in this game? He should have made at least 5 trips by now.



Even on that last call... anyone notice how late the whistle was? It's like the refs were hesitant to call it, but it was so obvious that they realized they had to.

I am frustrated, too, but let's not cast any curse on the Big Dance quite yet. Nonetheless, losing this is putting us into a very unfavorably position, especially considering the kind of season we had until this point.

Wow. I give up. The refs are cheating to give this to UNLV. It's just like playing with Pac-10 refs on the road. There is no difference.

Pass the ball jimmer

It just sucks that we had such a great opportunity this season to get a great seed, and we blow it

I want answers...why is Hartsock out there instead of Abouo...the only player we have who can rebound and defend big guys?

To who? the rest of the team sucks right now, I take my chances with Jimmer.

How does Jimmer get 20+ free throws one night and 3 the next when he's playing the same way?



Answer: Play UNLV at home. The refs screw us. This is a screw job to get UNLV in the big dance

More BS no calls when Jimmer gets hit on a drive...oh wait there's one, since even the drunkards in section ZZZ can hear the contact the refs have to blow the whistle.

How many times do you need to blindly throw the ball at the hoop before you realize they arent going to call a foul? work the ball around and look for an open shot

Lloyd should be bringing the ball up to give Jimmer a rest.

How many times in the first half did that dude just push Davies with no call? This is criminal what the refs are shoveling. UNLV doesn't need help for heaven sakes...they're already in the tourney.

wow, Emery gets the clean steal... and then - alas - a late whistle!

how hard is it for our bigs to just GET IN FRONT OF THEIR MAN!?!?



This whole strategy ours bigs have of allowing their man to post them up five feet from the hoop just isn't working. GET IN FRONT OF THEM! It's really not that hard.

wow, that last "foul" on Loyd? He literally didn't even touch him!

Wow, this tournament is criminal. These refs are letting the rebels commit murder, and BYU can so much as breathe on UNLV and a foul is whistled. It's obvious that the MWC is just trying to get 4 teams into the tournament, even at the expense of seeding for the two best teams.

That's how you win important physical games...jack up 3's and barely draw iron.
