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

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

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

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

And a freshman Collinsworth botching free throws.

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.

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

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

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

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

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