SinkingQuffa Intervention Needed

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

Last year's team was built for an upset, not a run. We woulda been lucky to get out of the first round even as a pretty high seed.

Did not St Marys prove that?? Twice. (And the injury excuse is not helping — any more than a naïve belief that Alex's wrist was gonna miraculously heal overnight).

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.

RockyBalboa

2/22/21 11:27am

I think this year's team is better than the Yoeli-less version of last year, but

jreid191

KenPom favors this year's team by 0.5

molodyets

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.

2/22/21 11:36am

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

claw

2/22/21 2:55pm

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

2/22/21 4:53pm

Irrelevant.

2/22/21 5:08pm

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

2/22/21 11:38am

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

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

2/22/21 2:26pm

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.

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

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.

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

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

2/22/21 3:18pm

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

2/22/21 2:23pm

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

ochobeeguy

2/22/21 4:10pm

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

2/22/21 5:47pm

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.

southprovocougar

2/22/21 12:13pm

I dont disagree with him

Loafer

2/22/21 12:42pm

Unsure what I think of that comment????

BYUvermont

2/22/21 1:51pm

Where is he coaching again?

Jersey hunter

2/22/21 2:20pm

But you have business claiming that from your couch?

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.

kiyoshige

2/22/21 10:42pm

Teams don’t blow out teams in the tournament typically. Win with defense and
