If Pope is smart he will find another gig because the Big12 isn’t going to be any easier. I suspect we’ll see another round transfers at the end of season. Problem is since BYU is downtrending top transfers and recruits likely won’t buy what Pope is selling, meaning we likely won’t get an upgrade in...

It will take a miracle for BYU to go dancing this year and with BYU headed to the Big12 those trips are going to become even more sparse.

I’m no longer a Pope fan. His best team was Dave Rose’s guys.

We can’t beat LMU. Pray for a miracle in March, folks, otherwise we’ll be lucky to go to the NIT.

Great analysis. Thank you for putting it together as I know it takes a lot of work. We had our chances to get some wins against solid teams. I think given how many new players are on this squad it’s taken them time to gel. Problem is if we keep losing 3 - 4 players each year to transferring in addit...

They seem to be playing better. Next week will be a big indicator of where they are at.

I agree, I don’t think we can drop more than 3 games come conference games. We have a lot of work to do.

The potential is there.

That’s fair.

If we don’t beat Utah, Pope’s seat better start feeling warm because it won’t be easier in the Big 12.

I really like Pope, but I lost all interest in his basketball team last year when he lost to UVU, and this year looks to be worse than last. I know that bad losses happen, but this appears to be more of a trend than an every-once-in-a-while sort of thing. Same. Such a cool guy. Want him to succeed,...

Well…it’s pretty quite over here. I assume that’s because we’re all underwhelmed by the team this year. Already looking like it will be a long season. I don’t think we go dancing and we will be lucky to make the NIT. I like that we beat Creighton, but overall I’m pretty unimpressed with Pope. This t...

If Burgess leaves, I hope we get an assistant that can coach guards. As others have said, we miss the tourney next year and Pope will start feeling the pressure. He’ll get a bi his first season in the Big 12. After that, if we aren’t dancing I suspect we’ll see a change. Course, one good season in t...
