the gushing over the Marriott Center atmosphere that national guys did (with Gonzaga having so much pride for the Kennel), the many streaks we ended for them, the Haws "foul" that they thought was dirty and awful along with their players making comments about BYU playing dirty, our fans chucking stuff on the court and the high energy going on, and the way we handled them tonight, the Zag fans now have even more motivation and resolve to be loud and as boisterous as possible in Vegas. That conference tournament already heavily favors them with the amount of fans they bring and how loud they get in that place. I'm certain they will be rocking like crazy even more so than they typically are (which is already crazy) with some extra motivation now.

If Pope and BYU can pull it off, it would be even more impressive than what they did tonight and worthy of a boatload of praise and recognition.
