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...

First 2 games for 2021 season are added to the game. I have noticed I have been having some database issues, due to a lack of resources. So be patient if it goes slow or needs to reload.
Great recruiter (though we can’t seem to get any shooters), good at developing bigs, but bad at offense and getting his guys ready for games. I’ve never seen a more stagnant offense. The last time I saw an offense...

Pope lost his assistant to a lateral move and two returning starters. All is not well with Pope.
My current impression of Pope is that he’s a great, optimistic raw-raw guy, but not an X’s and O’s guy. The revolving door of talent, stagnant offense,...
Tough game to watch last night. The refing was consistently bad. Some of the calls were real head scratchers. I am not sure they dictated the course of the game, but they certainly hurt BYU at least. Where the game was won, I think, was with San...
Interesting game. I thought BYU played very tough. Being down 16 and to claw back to 3? And we had good look threes that just didn’t go in. Lohner played outstanding, battling so hard on the boards. Our offense rarely creates an open shot. Most were...

I am a believer in mixing things up. Throw in a zone, trap or press once in while. Distrupt their rhythm.
BYU has turned into a hot mess. I liked that Pope switched George for Lohner only to see George play his worst game if the season. I’m no expert but the offense is what exactly? After Barcelo we have no one who can reliably shoot and score. And the...

It worked on 'SF at the end. I like changing the defense once in a while. Throw a zone up once.
Ugly ugly game. Last game it was the last one minute was a nightmare. This game it was the first 38 or so. The team looked lost on both ends. I’m not sure I understand the playing time for Lohner, Johnson and Knell. I mean George adds so much more...

We could really use Lee the 6'9 240lb kid from Idaho as well as Conner Harding. How much better would we be with them?
I edited this.
Even if Lee had stayed the same he might be one of the top 3 big men on the team at this time.
Watched last night and thought we actually played a pretty good game. Transition defense might have been tighter, we missed some open threes, and we had a few silly turnovers, but if you told me we’d score more than 80, I’d thought that would be a...

looking forward to this one sunday. cant see them shooting over 50% from 3 again so got a feeling it will be a closer game. it has got to be a repeat or at least final four according to
Sadly that's 2 losses in a row. They drop to 17-6 and 5-3 in the WCC. Pacific climbs to 6-13 and 1-4 in the WCC. They could sure use Baxter and Harward.
The women, one the other hand beat Pacific 99 to 58! They are 18-1 and 8-0 in WCC. Paisley...

If they are not at least a 4 seed it'll be a sham. Just to put it in perspective as to how dominant the women are, in conference play, their average margin of victory is 28.2. Gonzaga men in conference, 24.9.
Disappointing loss. Last 45 seconds will go on training films of how not to do things. Missed free throw/lane violation, failure to inbound more than once, soft defense on the closing play—all added up to a loss that did not have to happen. And that...

Better to have it happen now and learn from it then have it in the tournament.
Here is my analysis of the team and season so far as we (hopefully) get ready for conference play. If you want blue goggles we are the best team in the world that will beat Gonzaga by 40 points please head over to BYU Sports Nation instead.
I've...
Last post
Thank you byufanforever. This is a very good analysis. I looked at the roster. There are 10 guards and 6 forwards with the injured Harward listed as a center. I don't think we need that many guards. 3 of them may not have seen the court yet. I agree...
First of all, Creighton is a good team. They won their conference last season and they brought in a top 10 recruiting class! They had size that we just couldn't deal with.
I don't want to have a knee jerk reaction and say the season is over. But as...
Last post
Coach Pope decided to go with more size by starting Atiki and playing Traore. It was enough against Weber St. In theory Atiki should improve by leaps and bounds with more playing time.
Hey All - please enjoy this new page on BYU basketball. It’s a compilation of links to different resources covering the team…like the BYU student newspaper (The Daily Universe), Locked on Cougars podcast, official BYU newsletter, top BYU twitter...
It was a good 11 point win against a good Utah State team. Traore and Lohner seem to be handling most of the inside work. It helped to have George back. We could use Harward. When is he supposed to come back?
Watched the game. Liked how Lucas and Barcelo carried the team. Johnson really stepped up. Why did Atiki play just three minutes? Could have used his size.
Last post
Yeah, I don't know about Atiki. He came in and I thought he made a good play and then he was immediately subbed out. For all of the guards we have we really suck at shooting. Why did Erickson get so many minutes? Nobody even passes to him when he's...
I don't think it was a good idea to let Harding go.
Last post
He left on his own accord. He saw the writing on the wall--that his playing time would decrease. I did not see anything last night (3-12 shooting for example) to suggest we will really miss his play. I wish him the very best. He can be a help to his...
Is he going to be the next round mound of rebound ?
Is Barcello as efficient as Fredette?
Last post
Some may hate me for saying this, but Jimmer was not very efficient. He was a ball hog who needed to shoot in volume in order to get into a shooting rhythm. He was very fun to watch and with that roster at that time having a ball hog who could score...
GU keeps doing the same. Top 5 team. Did not know LMU fired their coach.

There is no question that the conference is better this year.
impressed with the new size we have at BYU. Barcello/Lucas make for a very good backcourt. Lucas knows how to feed the post better than about anyone I can remember at BYU.
Good vibes today.

probably best to not trust internet rumors for now. However, that's too bad. I watched the scrimmage when his teammates had to essentially carry him to the locker room. Hope he's ok. He'd have made a difference on this team. The other bigs are...
Show of hands of who thought we'd be up 19 at the half?
Barcello is perfect shooting and Traore is playing like a man out there. Love it!

Top 25 baby. I thought we would get there last week.
We should have taken Oregon's place and higher. According to ESPN the Cougars are the first unranked team to beat a top 15 team away from home by 30 plus points since 1993! The 32 point win is...
