TIC? We were average last year and lost our best player.

Things change: Our football team was 9-4 last year and each loss was by a

So it's possible the basketball team only wins 15 games. Probably more likely.

It'll stay that way for a few more unfortunately.

Have to admit, the half court post game was not a good fit...

Hawk in the 303

10/15/17 8:31pm

Yup, and it wasn't necessarily his fault either. Guys just passed the ball into

Big Daddy D

10/15/17 8:42pm

Yes, but coaching to blame. Inside out strategy built around Mika was problem.

Forcing a scheme to fit one player when it's not the best for the other 10 guys is not s good gameplan.

Dillinger

10/15/17 10:22pm

Wow, you guys have a greatly inflated perception of our perimeter skill level.

Transition game was a disaster too. #1 option in transition was feed post

#2 option is clank a 3PA,...so option #1 was a pretty good alternative.

Shooting 3's in transition is a GREAT shot.

I fully expect us to be better this year and make the big dance even after losin

Big Daddy D

10/15/17 8:40pm

Considering Rose has put a lot of teams in the dance id say chances are good

thebruce

10/15/17 11:52pm

Considering we didn’t make it last year and lost the best player on the team

The problem is there is very little margin for error because of the schedule.

byubyu

BYU is undefeated. Of course we go dancing

Coogar2

Um.....No.

rerunc

10/15/17 8:50pm

Offense will be better. To make the dance, defense must be better. Doubtful but

40% of you have expectations that are to high.

40% chance to make NCAA seems right. Those who think it's < 10% making bad bet.

Expectation to make the tourney and chance of making the tourney I guess are

sandtrapcougar

No one said anything about winning in the tourney. This was a question of making it in.

I guess I'm just trying to set reasonable expectations at this point because

It's not a whole new offensive and defensive system

BYUheaven

10/16/17 10:26am

Rose said they switched to more of a positionless offensive system

sandtrapcougar

10/16/17 10:51am

Positionless yes but you are still going to see a lot of the same stuff....
