The good news:

bad news, officiating will probably still be horrible, they never improve

Count Cougar

Already blaming refs for next year. Glad we have that built excuse year in and

just said they don't improve, many are bad at their JOB

Count Cougar

It is what it is. Ncaa basketball will never be great because of the officiating

Spencer hockeycheck play was called a foul on the other team. Wasn't a flagrant

Sorry you are correct. I meant no flagrant called

It’s posts like these on Facebook that have been embarrassing our fan base. I

Dawson looked super promising in his few minutes. What’s his injury? Hopefully

TarCoug

feet problems. sometimes feet never get better fully. I hope his does.

2025 will be another 20ish win season and first-round tourney loss. That's okay.

bleedsblue

Mar 21, 4:02pm

It's not okay but it is outside our control. It sucks that BYU rarely wins any

Archaea

We lose the only 2 guys that showed up. Not sure we are better

I loved SJ's fight today, but his 3 TOs really hurt as well. But yes he plays

That is what seniors do

David, same body is Yeoli? Davis is a much bigger body. A good thing for a 4

Plato

Mar 21, 4:03pm

How so? 247 listed Yoeli at 6'8" 225 coming out of high school (I think 6'7"

kimdaddy35

Mar 21, 4:13pm

Yoeli seemed thinner even as a senior. I don't trust those weight measurements

Plato

Mar 21, 5:39pm

Yoeli was thick as a freshman.

kimdaddy35

Mar 21, 7:55pm

His legs are much heavier & stronger than Yoeli's too. Totally different body type.

I'm a huge Saunders fan. It was disappointing that he didn't generate much

cwilke1

Mar 21, 4:03pm

Yeah, it's too bad. He really struggled, just off, not effective. He's probably

Ice King

i looked back at box score, and Richie was second leading assist man on the game

cwilke1

Jaxson ain't gone yet.

True, but his decision to be treated like a Senior the last game seems like an

kimdaddy35

Mar 21, 4:08pm

He said in the post game he is still deciding. Says getting back to March

babycarrot

Mar 21, 4:13pm

Hey I would welcome him with open arms. He is clearly not a finished product as

kimdaddy35

Mar 21, 5:14pm

He's earned himself a paycheck. It allows him to fish in the Portal (as a GR) if the NBA doesn't fit great.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 21, 10:41pm

Hopefully we grab a couple studs out of the transfer portal too

Cougarman

Mar 21, 4:06pm

Need at least 2 of the new 4 to be significant contributors

Dr T-bone

Mar 21, 4:10pm

It seems that our experience was super helpful this year

BYU Fan

Mar 21, 4:12pm

Experience matters for sure. Good news is Waterman, Hall, Baker, Fouss,

kimdaddy35

Mar 21, 4:15pm

Hopefully some of those guys can step up

BYU Fan

Mar 21, 4:21pm

Well Baker had surgery and was hurt, so there is that.

kimdaddy35

Mar 21, 5:15pm

Yeppie... we'll be good in the regular season to waste it in the post season...

Coug

Mar 21, 4:13pm

I get that as I am the same. Today's loss in a big way invalidates so much

kimdaddy35

Mar 21, 4:19pm

LOL... it's the same guys that just lost today

Coug

Mar 21, 4:23pm

Counting Adams and Baker as new it is the biggest influx of talent that BYU has

kimdaddy35

Mar 21, 4:25pm

Two 5 star types are not "nobody" additions

Mar 21, 4:50pm

I'm not convinced we'll be better next year. Hope so, but skeptical

I agree. The team chemistry this year was exceptional! It only takes a few

Soy Celeste

I'm sorry, I don't share your optimism at the center position. I was blown away by how ineffective Khalifa has been

Bob Vance

Mar 21, 4:18pm

“One of the best center units….in the country” - did you not watch today’s game?

byubrian

Mar 21, 4:31pm

They were poor today. Khalifa was playing with no water and has been injured

kimdaddy35

Mar 21, 4:37pm

Khalifa will also be without water during the tournament next year.

You know when Ramadan is next year?

The full month of March

I work with several devout Muslims. Fasting days can be postponed until April

wickedgame71

Mar 22, 3:52am

Oh great. So next years first round exit will hurt even worse

Elrond Hubbard

Mar 21, 5:03pm

And none of that will matter at all unless we learn to play with intensity every minute of every game.

Brisket

Mar 21, 5:16pm

So we'll loose in first round to a 12/13 seed? Great

Don't sleep on Brooks Bahr!

Sure but we won’t see him until the 2027 season because he is leaving on a

POTD because I badly needed this!

LV Mike

Mar 21, 6:53pm

I’m not buying the Adams love. He has proven nothing yet.

Croweater

Mar 21, 7:21pm

yes, players all hated, treated with pessimism until proven lovable and all star

Digital Gangsta

Mar 21, 7:37pm

I don’t hate him. I just need proof beyond high school clips

Croweater

Mar 21, 7:42pm

how is that different from any other player who has ever gone to college

Digital Gangsta

Mar 21, 8:16pm

Several of our players I hope are not back. Knell is top of list.

cougar95

Mar 21, 7:39pm

With NIL and transfer portal I doubt all of those players will be back. Also

HonestTakes

Mar 21, 7:45pm

Exactly. Scoop on BYU will say "get physical, bump and shove, the Y's team will

And we'll still exit the tourney in the first round.

You are on the wrong board.

Just calling it like I see it. You can't handle the truth. I want them to win

Hit a nerve I see. Quit pretending to be a fan. I can see your post history.

kimdaddy35

Stop lying, I never suggested he is leaving. I actually said I hope

Phiburt

Mar 21, 9:03pm

Great post - thank you - needed to get away from all the bitter fury

Ice King

Mar 21, 9:26pm

The bad news is Chandler and Davis will be freshman. Excited for their future

ColonelMustard

Mar 21, 9:33pm

You must have missed the freshmen seasons of Nick Emery, TJ Haws, and Yoeli Childs.
