Regressed to our mean after a few good years? BYU is a 25-time conference

champion and has been to the tournament 30 times. From 1978 until 2015, BYU had made the tournament the majority of the time and won at least one game in roughly half of those appearances. That should be a long enough history to not be considered Cherry-picking. Our mean is certainly not third place in the WCC and an NIT berth.

Those were just jimmer years. He was a once in a lifetime talent. Zags program was in a better place and still is.

This is the correct answer. We can't conflate programs with teams.

This is nonsense. When BYU advanced to the Round of 32 in 2010, it was the

No. Gonzaga is good and classy. SMC is good and trashy.

We were often the best team from the WCC

Embarrassment is a little harsh but I mostly agree with you

There is no metric by which we were seen as equal or superior to Gonzaga at any

You’re wrong. The five years before joining we were nearly the same program.

You said there was no metric to say BYU was equal or better at any time.
