ultra competitive and hate losing. Pope is one of those kind of coaches. Bret ire was fine. Nothing to see here as far as low blow to cougars.

Magathis

In terms of offensive talent they probably are.

SinkingQuffa

1/16/22 7:53pm

The only reason they ever held a lead that game was the reffing

stoils

1/16/22 8:17pm

They stole the ball so many times

CougarGregor

1/16/22 11:31pm

They had 6 steals compared to 3 for BYU. Not that many

icecougar

1/17/22 6:46pm

They have one good offensive player on the perimeter

BYU '80

1/16/22 9:49pm

If they had Cam Rising that is.

fulano

1/16/22 7:54pm

Is that why they had worse 2 point and 3 point shooting percentages?

Mostlyaccurate

1/16/22 7:59pm

"We were the better team".... um scoreboard?

Blueto

It's more of a compliment to us than it isn't, imo.

SinkingQuffa

1/16/22 7:57pm

How in the world is that a compliment?

Fightgar

1/16/22 9:50pm

You gotta understand he wasn't trying to insult or compliment us.

SinkingQuffa

1/16/22 9:57pm

USF is NOT the better team. Starting with an 18-0 foul shot made discrepancy made them look better than they really are.

Wingnut

I wrote last night the loss had to be incredibly demoralizing to them.

Bluforever

1/16/22 7:49pm

I agree. They'll come into the Marriott center motivated and with a chip.

byujdmba

1/16/22 7:51pm

And they’ll likely lose by 20 here

1984coug

1/16/22 8:14pm

I'm not so sure. I think it's gonna be another battle.

SinkingQuffa

1/16/22 8:21pm

Those players are good, but I think the Marriott center crowd will be

1984coug

1/16/22 8:46pm

It'll be a factor, no doubt. Don't get me wrong

SinkingQuffa

1/16/22 8:55pm

One thing I agree with and another i laughed at. I agree their 2 guards weren't hitting 3's late in the game like we'd

CLCougar

1/16/22 8:02pm

Shabazz is a 30% three point shooter. He wasn’t uncharacteristically bad last

BYU '80

1/16/22 9:50pm

No. He's a bad 3pt shooter. I thought we D'd him up well.

SinkingQuffa

1/16/22 10:15pm

They also kept the same ft disparity in the second half until

BYU '80

1/16/22 9:51pm

There were plenty of uncalled fouls by their bigs on our guys in the second…

Y'sAsterisk

1/18/22 12:22am

You know what they should do to see who’s the better team? They should get

BYU-Ite

1/16/22 8:03pm

He and his two guards

Vegasjohn

1/16/22 8:18pm

Not according to Utah fans. BYU was just better that night. USF is a better team

The_Cuss

1/16/22 9:27pm

Heck, they can even home court advantage for all we care

Rat

1/16/22 10:42pm

Didn’t realize Jackson Emery was the coach of San Francisco.

CrimWalCoug

1/16/22 8:09pm

I didn't either — till just now! Ha!

SinkingQuffa

1/16/22 8:14pm

I actually thought this seemed like a really good interview.

Banjo

1/16/22 9:03pm

I have no problem with what he said. This would be an incredibly difficult

Oceanographer

1/16/22 9:04pm

Yeah 3/23 sucks.

WizeGuise

1/16/22 9:05pm

Signed, SJ, Knight & Gideon.

SinkingQuffa

1/16/22 9:12pm

Byu is one of the best 3pt % defenses in the country for a reason

BYU '80

1/16/22 9:52pm

I don't know. Most coaches would say that in the locker room, but there's no

AF_Puma

1/16/22 9:11pm

True, but with emotions so raw, I'm not going to hold it against him.

Oceanographer

1/16/22 9:24pm

I won’t hold it against him either but it shows that he needs more seasoning

TempeCoug

1/16/22 10:03pm

For sure.

Oceanographer

1/16/22 10:04pm

Exactly what I meant.

AF_Puma

1/17/22 7:11am

It’s ok. I presume Golden is Cal or Oregon State’s next coach.

Bluforever

1/16/22 9:06pm

One thing he needs to realize about his team going 3 for 23 from three is that

byubyu

1/16/22 9:30pm

Exactly

BYU '80

1/16/22 9:53pm

I don’t like this coach

DCCougFan

1/16/22 9:32pm

They had home court, their own refs apparently

BYU '80

1/16/22 9:54pm

He was very respectful of BYU…just hated losing. He gets a pass from me.

Cthack1

1/16/22 10:16pm

He wasn't. He gave very few cumpliments to BYU. Poor loser actually.

BlueNtheFace

1/16/22 11:03pm

Fresh from the loss, most winners are sore losers.

SinkingQuffa

1/16/22 11:19pm

But Pope never says the better team lost

BYU '80

1/17/22 12:43am

It's pretty common coach speak. I think the take-away pt

SinkingQuffa

1/17/22 1:24am

I think he is speaking truth. The game in the MC is gonna be huge

Idacoug

1/16/22 11:15pm

He's absolutely right.

MyTwoCents

1/16/22 11:51pm

If Ifs and buts were candy and nuts

BYU '80

1/17/22 12:44am

With a decent set of officials BYU wins comfortably

slatecoug

1/17/22 2:20am

Ever heard of defense.

CougtheCreator

1/17/22 7:16am

i really like Golden... He's always been a stand up coach.

CougarBuddy

1/17/22 7:48am

Hey Toddy you were not the better team you lost at home. Probably lose in Provo

dodgersjazzcougs

1/17/22 8:37am

Thx Golden for providing BYU with extra motivation for the game in Provo.

Forzaitalia

1/17/22 9:02am

Having your best team get taken on your home court after you circled the game

1/17/22 11:08am

Fair interview. Nothing that surprises me. CB gets wrapped up in nothing.

MajorZeus

1/17/22 12:21pm

He wrapped himself in a false narrative, fed BYU's motivation. Be gracious.

BlueNtheFace

1/17/22 12:31pm

MajorZeus

You're nice

BlueNtheFace

If they are the better team, they have the chance to prove it on Feb 3.
