I'm very pleased to announce that I have finished the initial programming of a new and completely redesigned CougarCorner Prediction game. I have been rushing to get it finished in time to allow anyone who wants to join to do so, so there may be...

Predictions close at midnight the night before game day. This is due to the fact that in the past game times have changed after the schedule was input which allowed some people to enter their predictions after a game had finished.
Wow, what happened to him? He was a 4 star recruit out of HS. Played very efficiently as a Sophomore on a loaded team along with some good defense. I had tipped him to be THE guy this season. But he flopped. His offense sucked and was probably the...

I thought Harding was going to be used more like Jake Toolson was last year and was going to be finding himself with all kinds of open perimeter looks.
The ball rarely went back out to the perimeter once it went to Haarms or Harward. Childs was...
I think he has plenty of athleticism. Question is whether he has footwork, post of moves, and shooting. He will probably be able to stay in front of a defender better.
GU keeps doing the same. Top 5 team. Did not know LMU fired their coach.

Gonzaga has 3 projected first-round picks, including 2 in the top 10, and another 2nd round pick. Pretty impressive line-up.
Tennessee and Texas were the only other schools with multiple 1st round projections, both with 2 in the 1st round and one...

I'm not going to blame the committee for UCLA's seeding.
They got drubbed by SDSU, needed OT to put away Pepperdine for it's best non-conference win of the season and then got drubbed by USC in early February, followed that with a loss to mighty...
I don't claim to know a ton about basketball, but I've watched enough to know that neither MSU nor UCLA are you average 11 seeds. Really tough draw for BYU this year. PAC12 going 5-0 in the first round shows how under-seeded they all were really....

Based on all the upsets so far, the Selection Committee did a really bad job at seeding this year.
UCLA it is! Phew...I wasn't looking forward to Michigan St.
UCLA didn't play that tough a defense in the 1st half but they came out locked down in the 2nd. I was more pressed by UCLA's offense than Michigan's, but it did seem liked both teams...

Yeah I did not see that coming. In the first half I thought MSU looked like clearly the better team. They were bigger, stronger, faster and shooting well. Looked like a team that could make a deep run. I guess there really was a reason they were an...
By all accounts, BYU is in. It's just a matter of seeding.
Someone though just got bounced, as Georgetown at 13-12 somehow won the Big East. I don't believe they have been in any projections for the NCAA tournament.

That Michigan State - UCLA game last night was a real hard fought battle. Michigan State looked really good early but they fell apart at the end and you could see how tired they were. OT definitely didn't help. UCLA lost their leading scorer to an...
So, so sad. I know a lot of BYU fans are still butt hurt that he never came back after his mission but I have always hoped the best for him. No one should have to go through this.
So just for fun I created my own March Madness selection and seeding using NET rankings. All conference tournament champions got in. Then the at-large teams were all selected using NET. Last Four In: Syracuse, Clemson, Penn St., St. Louis. First...

Interesting, thanks for putting that together. I would be fine with a setup like this. Seems a little more balanced. A few outliers, but thats ok. Would be fun to watch.
BYU got the very last at-large bid to the Big Dance ...

The ESPN writer is having a tough time saying that he got it wrong.
I especially liked how, after 5 paragraphs of quibbling over why he thinks the committee should have let someone other than BYU in and why he was right and the committee was...
Umm... wow. Not what I was expecting. Can we sustain it?
Kispert will heat up. Need to keep the pressure on him and Timme.
This has probably been the best half of BYU basketball I have seen.

So, so close. Gonzaga defense was smothering and the refs didn't call anything and the offense stood around and just threw the ball right to the Zags down the stretch.
There, I fixed it for ya. Also, when was the last time we played some intense...
That was a stressful game to watch. Pepperdine played the exact kind of game it needed to in order to give themselves shot. A physical, scrappy, ugly kind of game. All the flopping was frustrating, but it got the results they were looking for, so I...

I had my doubts there in the final minutes. It wasn't looking good. That was an ugly, ugly game and we clearly looked flustered and rusty at times.
I think it was not only good preparation for tonight's game but also good for next week. We're...
Unless the wheels completely come off, it looks like we are tourney bound. Even if we lose against SMC on Sat and lose the first game of the WCC tournament we'd still be a bubble team.
But I don't see us losing on Sat and something tells me after...

If we can get a 6th seed that would be great. I don't see us getting higher than a 6 unless we beat Gonzaga in the WCC finals.
I would be very happy with a 7 seed, there is 3 or 4 teams really good (BYU has faced 1 of them already twice)... But...
It looks like the WCC has reworked the last week of conference schedules. BYU will now have make up games against San Francisco and St Mary's next week (both home games for BYU). So no games against Santa Clara or San Diego this season.
but BYU has had a different leading score in the last 6 straight game and in the last 5 the leading scorer had at least 19 points.
@LMU- Matt Haarms 21 points
@Pacific- Caleb Lohner 19 points
Gonzaga- Alex Barcello 20 points
@Portland- Gideon George...

Harward is a beast. If we didn't have Haarms, we would be plenty happy with Harward at center.
Kolby Lee has all but disappeared. Feel bad for the guy, but what a luxury we have right now. We have three solid centers.
It should have been Sr day, but it sounds like all the Sr players will use the bonus year:
Paisley Harding- Conner is a Jr so this does not surprise me.
Sara Hamson- Wants to break moms blocked shot record.
Maria Albiero (Londrina, Brazil)- Not sure...
