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

Last year's team is like the Brooklyn Nets now. Lots of offense. Extremely high ceiling. However, lack of defense coupled with the occasional cold shooting means a low floor. That low floor is bad for tournaments where a single off game knocks you out. The Nets will make the playoffs and win lots of playoff games, but they won't win the championship.

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.

Lohner and Knell are heating up.

I don’t know. If lohner is suddenly good for 15+ per game things could get very

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

2/22/21 11:27am

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

2/22/21 2:20pm

But you have business claiming that from your couch?

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

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

SinkingQuffa

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