Good teams? You mean like top 15 St. Mary’s, or top 25 Nevada?
San Francisco beat both those teams.

You should probably start following another school if your expectation is a perennial top 25 hoops program. That’s not going to happen at BYU. Perhaps you need to be reminded that we are an ultra-orthodox religious school located in a middle of nowhere western state, with an incredibly strict honor code, and a truly bizarre campus culture (by outsider standards).

BYU is also affiliated with a church with a fairly recent history of what the mainstream views as institutionalized racism and sexism. To say nothing of the impact that the mission program continues to have on BYU athletics.

The pools from which BYU draws its athletic and coaching talent aren’t getting any bigger, or deeper. We simply can’t sustain the type of on-court dominance that you demand. Expecting BYU to regularly finish in the top 25 of men’s collegiate basketball is like expecting Myanmar to finish in the top 10 countries in the summer olympic metal count. It’s not going to happen.

Cheer for BYU because it’s your school, or because you love the values and the standards it represents and upholds. You will be perpetually disappointed if you cannot be satisfied cheering for BYU unless it is a top 25 contender.
