It's more about chemistry and coaching. Gonzaga and St Marys are much better coached teams than BYU is. We can have all the talent and experience in the world, but it won't matter if guys aren't held accountable for unintelligent play on the court.

True, but they beat the zags twice. They had a very weak pre-season schedule

It is also the reason they won 29 games

And if we had played their schedule last night would have been our first loss

They won the WCC regular season. Something BYU hasn't figured out how to do.

Yep. The worst part is it's just like Bronco. He ain't going away anytime soon

Just curious. How many current college coaches have as many or more 20+ consecutive winning seasons as Rose?

BYU played the 19th ranked team on the road and the bookies had SMC as a 10.5 point favorite.

Unbelievable. By the ultimate objective measure of winning, Rose is indisputably in the upper echelon of coaching.

It's unbelievable to me that you refuse to see how much better coached

Two VERY different situations. I've showed this before & it merits another look:
