I have no problem with what he said. This would be an incredibly difficult

interview to do if your the coach of a team that led the whole way, only to lose the way that they did at the end.

I feel for the guy. But I'm happier that BYU won.

Magathis

In terms of offensive talent they probably are.

SinkingQuffa

1/16/22 7:53pm

The only reason they ever held a lead that game was the reffing

stoils

1/16/22 8:17pm

They stole the ball so many times

CougarGregor

1/16/22 11:31pm

They had 6 steals compared to 3 for BYU. Not that many

icecougar

1/17/22 6:46pm

They have one good offensive player on the perimeter

BYU '80

1/16/22 9:49pm

If they had Cam Rising that is.

fulano

1/16/22 7:54pm

Is that why they had worse 2 point and 3 point shooting percentages?

Mostlyaccurate

1/16/22 7:59pm

"We were the better team".... um scoreboard?

Blueto

1/16/22 7:48pm

It's more of a compliment to us than it isn't, imo.

SinkingQuffa

1/16/22 7:57pm

How in the world is that a compliment?

Fightgar

1/16/22 9:50pm

You gotta understand he wasn't trying to insult or compliment us.

SinkingQuffa

1/16/22 9:57pm

USF is NOT the better team. Starting with an 18-0 foul shot made discrepancy made them look better than they really are.

Wingnut

1/17/22 9:15am

I wrote last night the loss had to be incredibly demoralizing to them.

Bluforever

1/16/22 7:49pm

I agree. They'll come into the Marriott center motivated and with a chip.

byujdmba

1/16/22 7:51pm

And they’ll likely lose by 20 here

1984coug

1/16/22 8:14pm

I'm not so sure. I think it's gonna be another battle.

SinkingQuffa

1/16/22 8:21pm

Those players are good, but I think the Marriott center crowd will be

1984coug

1/16/22 8:46pm

It'll be a factor, no doubt. Don't get me wrong

SinkingQuffa

1/16/22 8:55pm

One thing I agree with and another i laughed at. I agree their 2 guards weren't hitting 3's late in the game like we'd

CLCougar

1/16/22 8:02pm

Shabazz is a 30% three point shooter. He wasn’t uncharacteristically bad last

BYU '80

1/16/22 9:50pm

No. He's a bad 3pt shooter. I thought we D'd him up well.

SinkingQuffa

1/16/22 10:15pm

They also kept the same ft disparity in the second half until

BYU '80

1/16/22 9:51pm

There were plenty of uncalled fouls by their bigs on our guys in the second…

Y'sAsterisk

1/18/22 12:22am

You know what they should do to see who’s the better team? They should get

BYU-Ite

1/16/22 8:03pm

He and his two guards

Vegasjohn

1/16/22 8:18pm

Not according to Utah fans. BYU was just better that night. USF is a better team

The_Cuss

1/16/22 9:27pm

Heck, they can even home court advantage for all we care

Rat

1/16/22 10:42pm

Didn’t realize Jackson Emery was the coach of San Francisco.

CrimWalCoug

1/16/22 8:09pm

I didn't either — till just now! Ha!

SinkingQuffa

1/16/22 8:14pm

I actually thought this seemed like a really good interview.

Banjo

1/16/22 9:03pm

I have no problem with what he said. This would be an incredibly difficult

Oceanographer

1/16/22 9:04pm

Yeah 3/23 sucks.

WizeGuise

1/16/22 9:05pm

Signed, SJ, Knight & Gideon.

SinkingQuffa

1/16/22 9:12pm

Byu is one of the best 3pt % defenses in the country for a reason

BYU '80

1/16/22 9:52pm

I don't know. Most coaches would say that in the locker room, but there's no

AF_Puma

1/16/22 9:11pm

True, but with emotions so raw, I'm not going to hold it against him.

Oceanographer

1/16/22 9:24pm

I won’t hold it against him either but it shows that he needs more seasoning

TempeCoug

1/16/22 10:03pm

For sure.

Oceanographer

1/16/22 10:04pm

Exactly what I meant.

AF_Puma

1/17/22 7:11am

It’s ok. I presume Golden is Cal or Oregon State’s next coach.

Bluforever

1/16/22 9:06pm

One thing he needs to realize about his team going 3 for 23 from three is that

byubyu

1/16/22 9:30pm

Exactly

BYU '80

1/16/22 9:53pm

I don’t like this coach

DCCougFan

1/16/22 9:32pm

They had home court, their own refs apparently

BYU '80

1/16/22 9:54pm

He was very respectful of BYU…just hated losing. He gets a pass from me.

Cthack1

1/16/22 10:16pm

He wasn't. He gave very few cumpliments to BYU. Poor loser actually.

BlueNtheFace

1/16/22 11:03pm

Fresh from the loss, most winners are sore losers.

SinkingQuffa

1/16/22 11:19pm

But Pope never says the better team lost

BYU '80

1/17/22 12:43am

It's pretty common coach speak. I think the take-away pt

SinkingQuffa

1/17/22 1:24am

I think he is speaking truth. The game in the MC is gonna be huge

Idacoug

1/16/22 11:15pm

He's absolutely right.

MyTwoCents

1/16/22 11:51pm

If Ifs and buts were candy and nuts

BYU '80

1/17/22 12:44am

With a decent set of officials BYU wins comfortably

slatecoug

1/17/22 2:20am

Ever heard of defense.

CougtheCreator

1/17/22 7:16am

i really like Golden... He's always been a stand up coach.

CougarBuddy

1/17/22 7:48am

Hey Toddy you were not the better team you lost at home. Probably lose in Provo

dodgersjazzcougs

1/17/22 8:37am

Thx Golden for providing BYU with extra motivation for the game in Provo.

Forzaitalia

1/17/22 9:02am

Having your best team get taken on your home court after you circled the game

1/17/22 11:08am

Fair interview. Nothing that surprises me. CB gets wrapped up in nothing.

MajorZeus

1/17/22 12:21pm

He wrapped himself in a false narrative, fed BYU's motivation. Be gracious.

BlueNtheFace

1/17/22 12:31pm

Not following. Because he said they were better team? I like coaches that are

MajorZeus

1/17/22 4:34pm

You're nice

BlueNtheFace

1/17/22 7:24pm

If they are the better team, they have the chance to prove it on Feb 3.
