Yep, BYU had a shot to win the title

They were playing their best ball and were legit top 10 with no dominant team that year. I thought with Davies, they would have had as good a chance as anyone. I was thinking about Davies and what could have been just today. It was a testament to the leadership on that BYU team that they pulled together and still made a great run. If Jimmer doesn't strain his calf, they beat Florida.

I have to admit. I'm still a little mad at Brandon Davies.

Kinda wish Florida would have just blown us out. Close loss means probably

I just wish Kyle collinsworth would have gone 2 of 2 from the free throw line at

I think we could have won but

And had he grabbed that rebound, he would have made the last shot to win the game.

If I recall it was both Hartsock and Collinsworth had better position for that

You could be right. But it's too painful to want to go back and watch. Regardless, there was a BYU player w/ a chance

I was about 15 feetfrom the play and jimmers guy grabbed the offensive rebound

I want to punch him in the face, then give him a hug, and then buy him dinner.

Remember when the SDSU message board asked if the last game he played against

I miss playing them, it was a fun rivalry & UNLV too

It still hurts. We were as good any team in the country and on our way to a 1

The Davies suspension was compounded by the fact that Chris Collinsworth had

Understandable. Sometimes we don't comprehend the potentially far-reaching...

Well if you're going to be angry, be upset at the girl too. Takes two to tango.

I'm more mad at the BYU honor code office for mishandling the publicity

I don't recall the BYU HC office doing anything inappropriate at that time.

LV Mike

1/17/18 8:32pm

They told everyone what his HC infraction was

They only said that he violated the HC but did not disclose how (Link):

Interesting. They gave enough for people to easily make the connection.

D.T. Survivor

1/17/18 10:54pm

No disagreement, but the FB video surfaced after most of the public drama

NewMexiCoug

1/18/18 6:23am

Your statement is absolutely incorrect. That did not happen. You may say that

LV Mike

1/18/18 7:48am

My memory might be giving the HC more credit with what happened

D.T. Survivor

1/18/18 7:59am

What should the Honor Code office have done? Nothing?

Brisco

1/17/18 8:33pm

I could have lived with them suspending him after the season.

ballen

1/17/18 8:34pm

As much as I would have loved that, such a move would have ruined BYU' rep

LV Mike

1/17/18 8:37pm

No kidding. Terrible idea.

Short-termed benefit of "standing on principle" versus long term benefit

Poor analogy.

Holy smokes, can you imagine how that would've looked? LOL you must be kidding

Meh. Would have been a once in a lifetime run.

I actually think BYU was proud of the exposure as sad as that sounds

kotacoug

That is sad.

BYUButters

1/17/18 9:14pm

Riiiiight... because the HC office secretly controls all the US media outlets?

ArchbishopMitty

1/18/18 7:00pm

I am upset at somebody else about that, not Brandon

Archaea

1/17/18 8:32pm

The reporter?

Blue Cougar

Administration. I don't see a reason for punishing the entire team mid-season.

Archaea

Letting go can be difficult. I have similar feelings, although not as strong, about

lightmann

1/17/18 8:56pm

I'm not mat at him. Still sad the whole thing happened though.

Injuries to key players happen year after year with BYU sports. Who will be next

Was it worth it I wonder...

Me too. Really cost us a chance at the final four, the best chance in decades.
