I'd still take last year's team at full strength. It's much closer than I would've thought it would be entering into the season, though.

Tim Lacomb just said on 1280 that he thinks this BYU team maybe be better than

Would be nice. I just don’t see it.

Exact same thought I had

We don't have the scoring--I just don't see it

To add further perspective, that 1 on this year’s team was the 4th option on

Lohner and Knell are heating up.

If they keep playing like they did last week it's possible.

KenPom favors this year's team by 0.5

2/22/21 11:28am

Last year's team's stats were skewed by 1/3rd of the games being missed by Yoeli

Indy Coug

2/22/21 11:31am

Yep. Yo would score 30 against this years team.

rivercitycoug

2/22/21 11:36am

No he wouldn’t- these bigs would keep him in check

claw

You obviously haven’t watched Yoeli play in G League.

Irrelevant.

Really. So a dominant post player in college is now relegated to sitting in the

2/22/21 8:49pm

Well, you could also say this year's stats are skewed...

basc-coug

And for the record, I'm not saying I like this team better.

we don't have enough Gingers. I just don't see it.

Cougarclaw

2/22/21 11:28am

I think this year’s team plays better defense, is scrappier and plays harder

WallaX2

2/22/21 11:30am

With all due respect to Mr. Lacomb, I don’t see it.

cougarmeister

2/22/21 11:31am

Scoring at the end of the game would be a trip. Lohner vs. Yoeli would be a great rebounding battle.

shimmy

2/22/21 11:32am

Last year's team would have the 3 best players. It wouldn't be close.

byubyu

2/22/21 11:32am

I agree that last years team wins, but remember SD state game all the rebounds.

Ycrazy

2/22/21 11:43am

How good would this team be?

lbmango

2/22/21 12:14pm

It would have Barcello too, so 4 best players.

ochobeeguy

2/22/21 12:15pm

It's going to come down to matchups.

ThreatLevelMidnight

2/22/21 11:32am

I watched Iowa yesterday. #11 team

bluelands

2/22/21 11:33am

Harward and Haarms against Garza would definitely be an interesting matchup

BerkeleyCoug

2/22/21 12:15pm

Garza is a bus. He doesn't move very fast, but he is very strong

bluelands

2/22/21 12:30pm

No way

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

2/22/21 11:33am

Deep run would depend mostly on the match ups and seeding

Remigius

2/22/21 11:33am

For me a deep run means Sweet 16 but Lacomb did qualify his deep run statement

TempeCoug

2/22/21 11:39am

Last years team could shoot over this team. On Yo would be the difference in the paint.

Turnpike Lane

2/22/21 11:35am

Tim & I agree on something. Go figure. (Really, it's an easy take.)

SinkingQuffa

2/22/21 11:39am

Last years team would have cleared the 1st round.

ParentingNotForSissy

2/22/21 2:08pm

If this team is better at shooting 3’s then they have, I could be convinced.

idacoug

2/22/21 11:40am

I truly believe that last year's team could've made a sweet 16 or even elite 8 run. Very difficult to defend and good

Pimpin4Paradise

2/22/21 11:48am

With a 7-man rotation, only one solid backcourt defender, & no one over 6'8?

SinkingQuffa

2/22/21 11:52am

Baxter and Lee are both over 6'8".

ochobeeguy

2/22/21 12:20pm

Barely, if. Unfortunately, one wasn't in the season-end rotation, partly cuz

SinkingQuffa

2/22/21 12:29pm

Baxter had only just started playing and looked lost

Lip Gallagher

2/22/21 2:26pm

Are they taller than 6'8" or not?

ochobeeguy

2/22/21 3:16pm

Lol they kinda have to play for the topic to make any sense

Lip Gallagher

2/22/21 3:18pm

And yet their last game was a loss and they had 4 conference losses.

Lip Gallagher

2/22/21 2:23pm

You think this year's team's last game won't be a loss? (I know, lots of 's)

Lip Gallagher

Nope.

Mitty

2/22/21 11:49am

Yoeli did not fare well at all against guys like Haarms & Harward.

SinkingQuffa

2/22/21 2:56pm

you can't fool me. This is part of the hype that comes before the mediocre.

Unsure what I think of that comment????

Where is he coaching again?

Jersey hunter

2/22/21 2:20pm

But you have business claiming that from your couch?

Lip Gallagher

2/22/21 2:33pm

Do not have the scoring leadership of Haws, Yoeli, and Toolson. That will be a

Gonzaga just called and said last year's team was better

kiyoshige

2/22/21 4:20pm

By the end of the season the Zags were probably not Top-10.

SinkingQuffa

2/22/21 9:43pm

True. We just don't have that signature win this year.
