other school in America would have done. At the very least you get respect for not putting winning above all else. What other major sports institutions can say that?

Still convinced BYU would have won the natty in 2011 if Davies had played.

Nah. It wouldn't have happened.

It is not our people's way

Even 1984 football championship - so many dissenters bc we weren’t allowed in

Blue streak

1/26/21 11:36am

Probably not, but the path to the Final 4 was definitely there...

Iman23

1/26/21 10:04am

8 seed butler would have been the only thing in our way from the final.

Icelandic Cougar

1/26/21 10:06am

That’s assuming we would have had the same path with Brandon.

Kavorka

1/26/21 10:08am

True, and we did beat SDSU both times with Davies.

rivercitycoug

1/26/21 10:17am

Honestly, we should have been a 1 seed.

Jay Rick

1/26/21 10:42am

So probably an easier path?

ImuaKahuku

1/26/21 12:09pm

Maybe, but maybe not. The way it shook out BYU had a great path all the way to

Kavorka

1/26/21 1:05pm

This^^^ is the truth. Best path was what we had drawn

7FootRussian

1/26/21 1:43pm

We don't really know, other teams would have changed too. So path might follow

ImuaKahuku

1/26/21 1:59pm

I’m convinced we would have at least played in the NC had we defeated Florida.

Kavorka

1/26/21 10:05am

I’m convinced it was our Final Four year and more than that was possible but not

rivercitycoug

1/26/21 10:06am

Still one of my worst sports moments when that news dropped

Ojiisan

1/26/21 10:16am

It dropped here first iirc.

1/26/21 10:34am

I don't think we beat Uconn. Big time matchup problem for us.

I do to.

I’ll never forget the national announcer saying on TV with disgust

OU Cougar

1/26/21 10:32am

Like the rest of the world is a great measuring stick these days

Indy Coug

1/26/21 10:34am

Not everyone felt that way

TADOW

1/26/21 10:42am

You are thinking of Harvey Unga. Davies got married in 2015.

Bert609

1/26/21 10:42am

I don’t think he married the girl.

rivercitycoug

1/26/21 10:44am

He definitely didn’t

LakeshowCougs

1/26/21 12:00pm

yeah different girl...

jwf

1/26/21 10:55am

And different athlete, different sport.

Soupie

1/26/21 11:15am

But he’ll never forget it.

I saw a lot of positive press actually. BYU did something that literally no

Ash

1/26/21 12:34pm

Not sure because almost no other schools could have been in that position. Most

kos

1/26/21 12:59pm

Yeah that may be true.

Ash

1/26/21 1:07pm

Yeah, he's thinking Harvey. Who BYU didn't handle well, imo.

SinkingQuffa

1/27/21 3:00am

Chris Collinsworth too. What a team

shimmy

1/26/21 11:04am

This is a great point. Davies was a talent you miss no matter what, but Chris

rivercitycoug

1/26/21 11:25am

and yet it took OT to beat us. w Davies no doubt a runaway for BYU

ImuaKahuku

1/26/21 12:13pm

I still think it’s a tough game, but no inside presence on offense definitely

rivercitycoug

1/26/21 12:16pm

BYU wins that go away with Davies

slatecoug

1/27/21 10:58pm

And yet we were only a missed free throw away from beating UF in regulation.

imagine if Tyler had stayed around one more season prior to mission.

claw

1/26/21 11:46am

That is the hypothetical where I am convinced.

stoils

1/26/21 12:46pm

How does Haws influence whether Davies slips up with a girl?

D.T. Survivor

1/26/21 5:16pm

First of all, that’s not what I meant

stoils

1/26/21 6:40pm

Is that the one where he practices at the church with Marty every morning?

D.T. Survivor

1/27/21 8:30am

No, there is an actual instructional video on how to run a YM quorum presidency

stoils

1/27/21 3:06pm

Those are the kind of championships too many BYU fans are up for. Too bad.

SinkingQuffa

1/26/21 11:49am

Definitely had a great chance for Final 4

Hill4Heisman

1/26/21 12:08pm

With the weak playing field we had a legit shot at it all. It is what it is,

SinkingQuffa

1/26/21 12:13pm

IMO, seeding goes out the window for the final 8. All teams are playing well.

Hill4Heisman

1/26/21 12:17pm

Not all years, but that year, absolutely.

SinkingQuffa

1/26/21 12:19pm

Me too. We beat FL and Butler. Imagine Jimmer vs Kemba what a game!

ImuaKahuku

1/26/21 12:12pm

Better yet Jackson vs Kemba 🙂

ImuaKahuku

1/26/21 12:20pm

Wasn't that the year Butler couldn't buy a bucket in the Championship game?

Ash

1/26/21 12:36pm

Neither could UConn. Worst title game in history, from what I can tell.

Coop

1/26/21 12:59pm

ditto

Beetdiggercoug

1/26/21 12:45pm

Same. Losing Davies still hurts me to this day. What could have been
