in the SDSU game called the travel and had Haws hit the short base line jumper vs Purdue. Fischer had poor games in those two contests but a tiny change of fate would have messed up their entire analysis.

I think it's goofy.

Chase also had poor games against USU and UMass which BYU won. Against Stanford and Pepperdine he had fair games which were split. BYU had its chances vs the Utes and the Zags which were his other weak outings. He was good in 10 games, including one against St Mary's in a loss.

The same can be said about each of the top 7 players: when they play their best, BYU is more likely to win.

Fischer plays well more than half the time. If you pundits are going to say finishing strongly depends on Fischer's consistency
don't pretend that you think the team's chances of doing so are more than a long shot. It's reasonable to expect him to be good in about half the games ahead or a little more. He is a good player. Can't expect him to carry this team on his back.
