I'm not that positive, but I think we definitely had a realistic chance.

To day this I'm still 100% convinced had Brandon Davies not got suspended

I feel the same way. The was a pretty special team. Too bad.

Banjo Blues

8/20/14 9:24am

i'm convinced if Kyle Collinsworth could make a free throw BYU would have gone.

COACHdrn

8/20/14 11:02am

You mean if Jimmer could have hit some 3's we would have gone, right?

BamaCoug

8/20/14 11:26am

if he had only hit that free throw at the end though....

Wear Blue

8/20/14 11:33am

or if Abouo makes that layup...so many chances. I'm still sad about it.

After Florida they would have had Butler right?

Yes

Probably would've gone in as a #1 seed with Davies, assuming

Well I think they get a 1 seed if they still have Davies so the actual braket is

Watching that team play @ SDSU had me convinced. Completely convinced.

Bought my tix to the Final Four right after that game...

That season would make an interesting 30 for 30

It was the best chance in school history

I think the LDS talent dried up after Davies....it's back up now.

CougarPilot

8/20/14 9:38am

agreed. We had huge momentum going. Also, it took Fla OT just to keep us

BlueK

8/20/14 9:28am

And a freshman Collinsworth botching free throws.

8/20/14 9:32am

The kids plays out of his mind and that's all you remember

Hank Rearden

8/20/14 9:36am

He played very well. I do remember his free throws at the end that

blackandblue

8/20/14 9:38am

It's a fact that he had a chance to win the game on a free throw and missed.

Call a spade a spade. KC is not strong from the charity stripe.

Call a spade a spade: 2011's best player the last 7 games: KC! 65 RBs, lock

It was Abuou's missed lay-up that I remember

JKLCoug

8/20/14 10:01am

Another under appreciated Cougar, and BYU's winningest player ever!

roseyscenario

8/20/14 10:25am

While true, that certainly wasn't the only missed opportunity.

Wasn't there a missed rebound right there at the end of regulation that if we

BYUHawk

8/20/14 1:15pm

It was tied at that point I think. but it would have meant a Jimmer buzzer beat

rggee

8/20/14 5:38pm

Didn't Jimmer have an off game as well? Like 3/15 from 3?

ldssdl

8/20/14 10:42am

For me the most egregious thing about that game was the reffs reluctance

Speaking of hypotheticals...losing Davies would have been manageable

Did Chris Collinsworth play much that year? (I was on my mission still)

Gotcha. I've often wondered how these past few years woulda gone if he could

ldssdl

8/20/14 9:57am

Losing he and Rogers definitely hurt. CC would have been a nice piece

ag4cougs

8/20/14 10:02am

CC didn't play much for the Cougs, ever. Truly sad what happened to him.

StalwartBraveTrue

8/20/14 2:14pm

He played 35 games as a pre mission freshman; averaged 16 minutes and 5 RBs!

Chazz Reinhold

That was my #3. I went to that game and it indeed sucked. In fact, it ruined the

NacoCoug

those who call us zoobs haven't seen the NCAA tournament in how long?

BlueK

Yes, but they'll get there in 2015 and surprise factor will make it even better!

Sure, BYU was going to do something it had never done and make the final 4.

Completely agree. Still upset about that honestly.
