Yet they had a higher seed in the NCAA tournament in 14 than in 15.

Which team was better is probably up for debate as some metrics would favor one and some the other. The 14 team did have a tougher NC SOS so I'm sure that played a factor in the seeding.

This is the best BYU basketball team I have seen since Jimmer

This team isn't better than the Haws, Collinsworth, Fischer team of 2014-15. At least, not yet.

Defensively this team is way better. But that team could really score.

According to Kenpom BYU is ranked 76th currently in AdjD. They finished

Agreed. And this team only has had Yoeli for 3 games.

I liked the 13-14 team better than the 14-15 team.

If KC hadn’t torn his ACL during that dirty play, that team could have won

That was a very good team. I like the upside of this team more

Skyler Halford deserves to be mentioned as part of this team also

12/12/19 4:08pm

Yes. Or 2012-13 with Haws, KC, Mika, Carlino

Mika, KC, Haws, Carlino, Winder in 13-14 was probably better but this team

BYUheaven

12/12/19 11:46am

Certainly a valid argument, I thought Carlino killed us too often on that

kimdaddy35

BYU was ranked 49th overall that year in Kenpom, 31st on offense and 93rd in def

I think they’re all pretty closely matched.

ldssdl

12/12/19 12:28pm

For sure looks like could be best team since 14-15. Could be close to on par

Man, those '09-'11 teams sure had it together on both sides of the ball. Those were some really fun years.

"Change was long overdue" I just wish people would apologize to me for pressing

BDAWG

12/12/19 12:08pm

It would be nice to receive an apology, starting with GENTLEMAN STAN.

BDAWG

12/12/19 12:09pm

Life gets a lot better when you don't feel entitled to apologies. Especially for things said on anonymous message boards

SingleStrapBackpack

12/12/19 12:09pm

Trust me I will not lose any sleep from Gentleman Stan's and Wisconcougs silence

BDAWG

Too soon to tell. If BYU biffs it against USU this week, then it's NIT at best.

Forzaitalia

12/12/19 1:04pm

too early to know that for sure either

BlueK

12/12/19 3:17pm

Don't think so. At 8-5 you can project out to a 9-10 loss team, which won't

Forzaitalia

12/12/19 7:44pm

They're an 8-4 team that should absolutely be 11-1. The fact that they aren't...

COACHdrn

12/12/19 2:15pm

They are both. Just like many other NCAA teams. Nobody is perfectly consistent.

SingleStrapBackpack

12/12/19 2:29pm

Well if you haven't noticed . . .

Hopefully this team can be better than the Jimmer

BYUvermont

and just think how good we'd be if Baxter hadn't gotten hurt

icecougar

12/12/19 8:31pm

Agree. Baxter loss was significant.

Forzaitalia

12/12/19 9:46pm

We’ll see. 2013 was really good with Mika, Haws, KC, Carlino.
