whoops, the streak is gone. i guess you played real great teams there at the mc before that.
Has a BYU men's basketball team ever beaten a top 25 non-conference team? If so, when and whom? Who was the coach?
Tough physical game. Cougars can't make clutch free throws or threes.
Wasted opportunity.
49 fouls called ruined the game.
Great effort just poor execution at the end which is a growing trend against ranked teams. An ongoing problem is the poor shot selection by JT and Cummard. You would expect better decision making from these guys which cost them.
Cummard shows he is not big time. On the other hand, the Jimmer did.
Hmmm Ralph, not too educated on BYU's success are you. Nice try on the "ever" thrown into your trolling. Look at BYU beating #6 Louisville last year on a neutral court in Las Vegas.
Don't try and take away from a great year the Cougars are having by being a cynical troll. Two tough losses to 2 top-20 programs! GO COUGARS!!!!
While the players did a great job and the fans attended in mass (one of whom who threw something on the floor should not only have stayed at home, he/she should be spending in the night in Provo jail), you could see this outcome a few games ago.
Ill advised shot selection, poor clock management, etc. Hopefully, the team will take something from this and the ASU loss and improve.
Your basketball team looks like your football team. Any time the cougars play a quick, athletic team, they lose. 0-2 verses good teams in hoops and 0-3 in football. Time for all cougar teams to start running wind sprints and looking for stronger, athletic teams.
Wow, the comments on here are so negative. BYU is doing a great job this year. Stop begin so critical, and enjoy the game for what it is, a game. These are young men doing their best. And to the trolls, go find your own team to support.
you reap what you sow. learn how to close out games.
Throwing a water bottle on the court during the game? You Kittens are an embarrassment to the MWC. Way to show an ACC team that traveled to your school the type of fans that you are. I'm sure more big time programs are just lining up to play you. Absolutely embarrassing for your school.
schedule will catch up with the Cougs in end. Coach needs to schedule tougher teams before conference play. Your only as good as the opponents you play. BYU is a solid basketball team but will be lucky to finish 3rd in the conference. We are too slow just like our football team.
THERE IS NO TRY,
THERE IS ONLY DO.
These posts are a bit critical. I've been watching BYU basketball since the 80s and this is a fun team to watch. I think that they have a better shot of going deeper into the NCAA tourney than most BYU teams in years past.
Silly comments by Mirror Images.
Would have been a great win for the MTN West, Wins against Louiville, Gonzaga and Wake would have capped a great week not to mention The Utes last night. Get em next time GO Mountain West
Hi Mirror Images: Are you a Utah fan? Sincere congratulations on a great Sugar Bowl. You guys did the MWC and the state of Utah proud.
Come back and comment on basketball athleticism after we play a couple games this year.
Snapped!
per Bishop Wrubel, BYU jobbed by rotten foul calls.
Actually, When 1 team is jacking up off the mark 3's and the other team is attacking the basket being defended by 1-step-slow white guys who hack and reach instead of playing defense, its remarkable the foul differential was not greater.
Does not take much defensive effort to defend 25-30 foot 3-point jacks when you're not making them.
Great game, Cougs. No shame in this one. Wake is for real....anyone who was there to actually watch it would also say the same. Wake's coach after the game said the Cougs "could play with anyone, and I mean anyone in the ACC" this year and that he'll "never come back to the Marriott Center". So hey, "mirror images," bring your SPEEDY team (right) the the MC and watch us take you down like the other 53 in the past few years. The Cougs, player for player, have no business competing with teams like this, but as a team.....they've got a lot of heart and are fun to watch. Shut the trolls down, Cougs, by blasting their team when it's time (I'm pretty sure you'll know who they are).
Orem guy is on to you, troll.....Mirror Images, The Usual, Classless, etc.....probably the same tired yewt who spends more time on these boards then his/her own. Get a life.... Surprised you haven't brought up your amazing convincing win over powerful Gonzaga! Wow...THAT team sure did make you guys look great.....yikes.
Back to the Cougs - gotta keep after it and learn from the mistakes. Love that the top three guards -Emery, Abouo, and Jimmer are all Sophs and Freshmen - gonna keep getting better with great experience under the belts. GO COUGS!
in the Marriott Center. THe place was packed and rocking. THe Coug's played a very talented team to a standstill with less than two minutes to go, just didn't make the plays at the end.
I think BYU will be very tough to beat in conference. Go Coug's
