Comments about ‘BYU basketball player grades: Cold-shooting Cougars battled despite coming up short’

Thank you Cougars for the breath taking season and historic records broken and made. Hear we go 2012 into the WCC, the future looks bright bathed in the after glow of the 2011season. Nothing to be ashamed of here boy's you guy' s left it all out there. Always are Cougar fan, Rise & Shout !

I wish I had teacher that graded like you!! Abouo was a total non factor and the layup he threw up was a change of momentum, Jackson was ineffective for all but the first five minutes, Collinsworth missed a free throw that would have given BYU the lead, Hartsock gave up countless offensive rebounds and Jimmer wilted in Overtime. I love the Cougars as much as anyone but these grades are not at all reflective of how they played.

I agree with Scandrus. As much as I love him, Abouo was a huge NON-FACTOR in this game, and Emery and Hartsock did not earn B grades. The average grade given was slightly higher than B, but the team shot only 35%. These game grades are based on emotion and admiration for the boys in blue for their terrific season. But how about those 15 rebounds for Kyle Collingsworth, against Florida's big men? Wow. He did deserve his A- grade despite missing what might have been a game winning free throw. Without his excellent rebounding, this game would not have been that close.
