I think BYU's issue on 'the big stage' is mainly psychological

I think hooey is a pretty good descriptor of that

Bwahahahahaha.......TNT vaguely remembers that episode

That's better than me. I can remember he got in a show or two — but didn't think that's where that came from.

Wait, so a church that tells all men their priesthood DUTY is to stand and bear

Tell this to all the scout masters and ym leaders telling kids they are going

I've never met a scoutmaster, youth leader, or bishop like that.

Wow - that was a bizarre topic correlation.

Maybe he's talking about this kind of emotion and not the kind you referenced?

Nope. We need nba talent or defense first mentality

There are plenty of teams who win in the NCAA tournament without this

CameronG

It’s not full proof. But byu needs this according to their history.

yeah, I dont buy that assessment of it being a result of "LDS culture"

Great points.

It's athleticism.

Oakland must be vastly superior than Kentucky...

Anybody can get lucky in one game. BYU's problem has lasted too long for that.

maYbe

Mar 22, 9:33am

What does that even mean? Did BYU win 23 games this year on luck?

Team Chaos

It's like the Jazz with Don and Gobert. Great regular season but terrible playof

No, it's not. BYU playing the 11-seed, 6th-place A-10 team is not like two...

Can't just athleticism, but that is certainly a factor in general. We played and beat lots of teams that were as

This. We struggle against pressure and we can’t pressure other teams.

It's a coaching and preparation issue. Pope has struggled immensely in post-seas

Team Chaos

It's not just a Pope thing, it's a BYU thing.

I can't disagree with that. I'm just saying he has fallen into the same problem.

Team Chaos

Right, when 3/4 of BYU's NCAA wins in the last 30 ish years are from Jimmer

I agree with you, Team Chaos.

What about Islamic culture?

Missions and culture tend to not bring out a killer mentality.

athleticism is a big thing, but yes, they always come out scared in big spots

I think it's a combination of a lot of things but a lot of it is just mental
