Which ironic because that’s pretty much Egor and Catchings in a nutshell.

No player who lacks that should be on the roster

Blaming the loss on the refs last night seems off.

BYU should have played better. The refs gave the Utes the 2 FTs to give them the

A referee should never be blamed for a loss, IMO.

Rutgers has 2 of the top 3 projected draft picks. They are in 12th place in B1G.

Bluforever

I agree with this. Just that “___ is a projected lottery pick” doesn’t mean that

NWCoug

11:27am

AJ is such a dominating player

Cougrrrs Roll

11:25am

But will the BYU team be great with him? That’s the question.

NWCoug

11:28am

Can't say about that

Cougrrrs Roll

11:36am

Also, don’t call yourself the “shot doctor” if you can’t make a foul shot.

Trevin has never said that once. Teammates have.

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

Well if he doesn't figure out his shot it's a moot point. He looks good shooting it though so part of the premise is

RdF3

There's a reasonable expectation that he'll mature quite a bit physically.

shoganai

The competition is way better now than early in the season

You’d probably pick Jimmer first if you were a GM.

At least stop in Luzern. Interlaken/Wengen areas amazing but may not have time.

Mr. Belding

👍 Interlaken.

Radical idea: abandon any pretense of becoming a good offensive team

Archaea

I say go for it

Dr MoBYU

Can one point out that Mag got absolutely cooked on one or two key possessions

shoganai

I like it! And maybe doing keeps the season going!

BYURider

11:12am

If they only take lay ups or open shots there will be many shot clock violations

Cougs'16

11:13am

Well take a shot at the end and fight like a demon for the rebound

Archaea

11:33am

Do it!

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

11:25am

The personnel is way more offensive inclined than defensively

MwangoleCoug9

11:48am

Can BYU not win close games?

HRCougar

11:01am

Poor free throw % and sloppy ball control really hurt in close games.

NWCoug

No they cannot (so far) and yes it is possible they don’t have the grit

Apparently not

Also up there and related is offensive sets. This NBA offense isn't working.

75% isn't bad. He also makes up for that 25% in other ways.
