What annoyed me so much were the national articles that gave BYU no credit for
the win, like this one (link below) that led with the line "Brigham Young capitalized on No. 6 Louisville's injuries and weariness" and repeatedly mentioned Louisville's injured players, rather than simply reporting that BYU flat-out out-played Louisville in the game.
Sure, David Padgett was injured, but his backup (Derrick Caracter) scored 24 points on 10/12 shooting - was Padgett gonna do better than that? Probably not. So Louisville really didn't miss him. And BYU won anyways, with star players (Plaisted and Tavernari) having star performances. No fluke, just BYU winning the game, fair and square.
