POLL: Ten Days Until the Tipoff: At this early juncture, do you think BYU makes it to the Big Dance?

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.

Wrong!

How many times has Rose made the Dance since Jimmer left?

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

What do NCAA tournament appearances have to do with your statement?

Mika was a large part of the problem

Dillinger

10/15/17 8:21pm

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

thebruce

10/15/17 11:59pm

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

Ocho Cuatro

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

Bubble team probably, but I do think the basketball team will be a pleasant

This is what i am going with. My wildcard is if the threes from nick, dastrup,

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

byubyu

10/15/17 8:37pm

BYU is undefeated. Of course we go dancing

Coogar2

10/15/17 8:44pm

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.

I haven't seen much hype from the media.

There has been some media hype on ESPN960 articles but yes it is nothing like

I think me and you are mostly on the same though process I'm just slightly on

sandtrapcougar

10/16/17 10:59am

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

10/16/17 10:09am

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

I'd rather have my expectations high

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

sandtrapcougar

10/16/17 10:13am

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....

I'm a big boy, I can handle disappointment. Can't handle apathy.
