3 point chuckers who you can't count on to go far in the tourney. I mean, if/when we lose it will indeed probably be because of a cold shooting performance, but this is no small fry/mid major tossing up desperation 3's. This team is battle tested and looks to be every bit of a Sweet 16 team.

Many of the ESPN “celebs” like Stephen A. have Duquesne winning.

That’s a very positive sign.

I doubt Stephen A has watched BYU play a single game this season. He’s too busy

Quick question... who is Stephen A?

This is the best news I've seen today

Stephen A. is a race baiter who hates BYU.

People who read about the Cougars but have never watched them play.

CBers are that way about every other team in the tourney

We'll test this proposition on Thursday.

Plantagenet

If our defensive intensity is high and we control the boards, we'll win, even if our shooting % isn't stellar imo

CLCougar

Mar 18, 7:56pm

Sure, but our shooting percentage will need to be good.

Plantagenet

Mar 18, 8:00pm

If we execute my points above, I think we win with our season's average %'s. Just my opinion, not worth much, granted..

CLCougar

Mar 18, 8:03pm

If we drop below 32% from 3 I think we lose almost every time.

Plantagenet

Mar 18, 8:08pm

That 32% from 3 has been an accurate indicator the whole season. I agree on tenor of this game, the Dukes will play

BYU doesn't need to shoot well to win. They just need to not shoot poorly

Belboz

I feel like I’ve only seen a couple of games where BYU put together two halves

Mar 18, 8:07pm

Agree. When they started conference play, longest streak was two games.

I watched multiple vids today that picked BYU to S16 or Elite 8.

I saw some that predicted BYU would win the BIG12 Tournament!

calblue

True - after the first round win, tons of pro BYU noise. Quickly disappeared.

Maybe it's historical. I'm old enough to see Cinci do well all year and then

sah22

Mar 18, 8:34pm

I agree with them. 3 pt chuckers who lack consistency. Team is good but I

Mar 18, 8:47pm

If they shoot poorly in game 2 it won't be because of tired legs. Probably be

I know of at least one coworker of mine that has Duquesne losing. But then again

You are referring to March Madness writeups on CB, are you not?

Bill

Mar 18, 9:29pm

BYU has never done well in tournaments....because 3s go cold....I hope we can

RGGeemer

Mar 18, 9:50pm

I'd just like to see "hot" show up in both halves for once.

Les IsMore

Mar 18, 11:48pm

We just need "hot" for 12 straight halves. That's all.

Bring it on!! The more locker room poster material we have, the better. The more

I've seen several saying BYU over Iowa State.

Problem is there’s a lot of lazy analysis basing it mainly on BYU historical…

Ice King

This looks like a reasonable assessment to me. We also have possibly the worst
