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.
At least Pepperdine took them to 2OT, but what a game by Ford with 42, but it wasn't the best, because Pepperdine's Ross goes off for 43. Two players accounting for 85 points. Incredible.

just a weird game all around. I wasn't aware that you could go to the monitor and then un-call a foul.
I just saw that BYU tweeted out that someone who was at the BYU vs Gonzaga game at the Marriott Center has been diagnosed with the Coronavirus. How many other people did that person make contact with?! I was at that game...

Anyways, I read today that the incubation period is 5 days. That game was 16 days ago. You should be fine.
The concern is that over 90% of people who are infected with Coronavirus don't even seek medical treatment--it's just a mild fever and a...
Assuming we continue our current win streak and beat SMC and Gonzaga to win the WCC tourney, what seed do we get? Does Gonzaga get a higher seed?
I think if that happens we get a 3 seed as well as Gonzaga.

Lets be honest, the reason there are so many great upsets in the early round of the NCAA tournament is because so many undeserving P5 teams get in the tournament.
Congrats to Yoeli, Haws and Toolson (double for Toolson)
Very surprised to see Pacific's Damon Stoudamire picked as COY over Mark Pope. I would have accepted Mark Few, but I don't see that what Stoudamire did surpassed what Pope achieved. I...

Interesting that Few and Pope made the 10 but not Stoudamire.
Cougar nation, a buddy and I are on the hunt for some tickets to the WCC tourney. There are the usual places to go for such things (StubHub, etc), but I thought I would throw it out there in case anyone here knows of a good lead or two or maybe has...

Feel free to private message me, might be able to hook you up
I know it is still early, but I think Holmoe hit a home run with Pope. Losing Baxter and then having Yoeli for less than half the games and yet seeing how competitively good they are is remarkable. Defense is improved. Shooting is improved. I’m...

With the kind of money brought in by BYU football and BBall, coaches salaries should never be in the bottom 75% of salaries. Maybe they should give Pope his $600k base salary and bracket it up according to how much the BBall team brings in for the...
It's hard to believe that BYU is 4-4 at Firestone Fieldhouse in Malibu over the last 8 years. In the period of 2014-16, Pepperdine beat us 3 of the 4 games we played, but we have won our last two (2) in Malibu, and the last five (5) games against...

Colby Ross averages 20 pts a game. We held him to 8 points tonight. 8! That's some amazing defense. Colby was never able to get it going.
Pepperdine went with the same game plan San Diego and Santa Clara went with: try to shut down BYU's three...
I haven't seen this posted or really discussed around here. And this could have easily been posted in the football section but I'm a basketball guy and it's basketball season so I'll post it here.
We did it! Wow. Who would have thought this 6 months ago. Congrats to the Cougs. Still plenty to play for, but something we haven't seen in almost a decade.
Just read through the posts about last night's game. According to them we are thugs and don't know how to play basketball, like basketball is supposed to be played with your pinkies out and crumpets. It's basketball....

I read this in the Spokesman Review but nowhere else as of yet. Remember all the games where some of us have complained about the refs. BYU won fair and square. We are now ranked at 14.
I just watched the highlights and reran it several times. It...
Vote for Yoeli! Jimmer this poll. Merrill from USU is in a lead but not for long.

After last night's win, this makes me upset. YC desires to win this. If each of the ROC would throw down 5-10 votes, we could see if we could turn this around.
Interesting to note that actually it is probable more important to beat Santa Clara and Pepperdine than Gonzaga. If we lose to Gonzaga, we're still on track for the Big Dance. We lose to either of these other team, or tragically both, then it's not...

TJ scored or assisted on 23 of BYU's last 27 points. The dude was huge last night.
TIME PLAY SCORE
8:38 Yoeli Childs made Free Throw.
57 - 58
8:09 TJ Haws made Jumper. 57 - 60
7:40 TJ Haws made Jumper. 60 - 62
5:55 Connor Harding made Layup. 64 -...
I saw on KSL Sports that the game is sold out! Gonzaga fans also tend to travel well. However, I also know a few local people that went to Gonzaga law school so they may have a few local fans. I'm ready for a rockin atmosphere!

Doubt the SC game will be sold out. It's in the middle of the week.
A win is a win, but San Diego had no business being in that game. I hope this wakes up BYU that you have to show up every game no matter what your opponents win/loss record is.

I think the pick and roll has a way to go, but it certainly is better under Pope than Rose. In general, Pope seems to have the team cutting to basket and running back doors more than Rose. I like it.
I actually fell asleep in the 1st half and woke up at the end to see they had won. I guess that's what I get for watching the game from my bed with all the lights off. I DVR'd it, so I'm good to watch it tonight.

Several of those games where without Yoeli. He improves getting open looks.
Great point, because actually 5 of the 7 was minus Yoeli Childs. That somewhat indicates a trend and one that is good, because with him in the game, we're definitely a...
I didn't realize that Eric Mika played an important part.
In 2016, he began his BYU career. One day, the Cougar’s star center, Eric Mika, asked the young freshman how he felt about the Church. Childs told his teammate that he had read and prayed...
44-25 at the half. Best defensive effort I’ve seen in a long time. Everyone is locked in tonight. USF has made the big runs last few meetings. Hopefully not tonight. Baxter burns redshirt. Think it will help in the long run this season.
Last post
It was great to see Baxter out there but he was definitely rusty. He actually looked lost on defense and didn't know when to rotate and bumped into his own teammate. Coach Pope said that he hadn't even had a full week of contact practice yet.
