Seeing how Coach Pope has completely switched things up to compete in the Big 12

It bothers me to no end that it feels like Coach Sitake hasn’t done something similar with his approach to the football team. If you want to compete at a level you never have before, don’t you take things to a level never done before, just like basketball?

How Mark Pope is preparing his BYU squad to storm the Big 12

An inside look within Pope’s program, where the Cougars have become college basketball’s surprise team of the season.

A couple of thoughts: 1. I think the style of play we're seeing this year is

Also worth noting that Kaplan’s got BYU to finally invest in assistant coaches

Just on the basketball style of play

Do you think this year's philosophies become part of BYU's (Pope's) identity?

If you had visited CB 6 months ago, you would've found all kinds of posts...

We'll see. 1. Kalani was undefeated entering B12 play. 2. If Pope has some

I’d wait til BB plays a few Big 12 games first. FB went undefeated in OOC and ended up being bad

And with all of the same main players and coaches.

You can feel that way, but Kalani has actually made significant changes

12/27/23 1:36pm

If Kalani didn't make the change in 2017, he never made it in some people's

Way too early to make judgments like this. Let’s see how it actually goes in B12.

Coach Sitake won all of his games before conference season started, too.

We displayed issues in football before conference play.

It’s odd it’s taken 6 yrs to figure out BYU has to shoot the 3 to compete. But

Football is much harder.

Lol nah.

In all fairness I think we need to see how we actually do in the Big 12.

12/27/23 5:48pm

To be fair, we have no evidence yet that the bball team can compete in the Big12
