After the TCU game and UNLV game I think it's pretty safe to assume even though our guys won't admit it, they're tired and they've hit a bit of a wall. Glad they have a whole week to not only think about that UNLV loss but to also rest up. They need...

Well, Air Force is sitting on a 6 point lead with around 10 minutes ago...this would not be good for Air Force to win IMO.

We need CSU to stay in the top 100, help us with that eye test. A loss to AF would hurt that...a lot.

In the two losses to UNM and UNLV they have both shot poorly. Emery also shot poorly vs USU. For most of the year I've felt that they were the biggest reasons for our team's improvement, but they have struggled over the last 4-6 games. I think...

Is there a sport where Home Court Advantage is more evident than in College Basketball? As I thought about BYU's losses this year, I started thinking about where it is we lost. At New Mexico, at Utah State, and at UNLV seem to be 3 tough places to...

-*- We won the 2nd half, 40-32!

-*- We were great from free throw range, shooting 19-of-22 (to UNLV's 12-of-19)! And Jimmer himself was 11-of-13!

-*- Like the Texas A&M game last year, Jonathan Tavernari was our best player, scoring 16 points of...

Three :) Nough Said.

1. It has now moved up to 107 - getting even closer to the top 100, which I think will actually make a big difference in a voters/seeders mind when they take a quick look and see a 2 digit number compared to a 3 digit number - Biiiiiig Difference on...

Okay, so I don't actually believe this....HOWEVER

Nebraska is currently beating Kansas (the #1 Team) 43 to 42 with 15 minutes left.

Guess what? Kansas is HOME

Guess what else?? We beat Nebraska by 22 - on a NEUTRAL site

Now I know the whole,...

Saw this on Cougar Tracks, thought it was a great line.

he Huntsman Center has gone from practically impenetrable to eminently hospitable; the Utes are 7-6 at home this season. Another way of putting it is Utah has lost twice as many home games...

None of my usual sites are showing a feed at this point...anyone have a link for today's game?

Hubert - UNLV
Digger - UNLV
Jay - BYU

Every says Jay doesn't like BYU, but he picks us today.

I didn't see this posted yet, but doctors told freshman Brandon Davies that he will miss 10-14 days while recovering from an appendicitis. Davies felt good enough the day after the surgery to stop by basketball practice long enough to say hi to...

Who in the he!! does he thinks he doing? I tell you what he's doing, he's making me look really bad. My younger boys would rather watch him then listen to me and I'm their father. :blush: :blush: :gross: :gross: :~( :~( :~( :~(

He takes PotW in...

Hey sorry if this has been discussed, I haven't seen it anywhere.

Is Haws good to go vs UNLV? I know he had limited minutes against TCU due to some sort of head injury? Anybody heard?

Thanks for your help

Nice shot of Jimmer on the homepage of ESPN College BB as well as a reference to tomorrow's game as one to the top 10 games to watch out for this weekend. GO COUGARS!

Just look at the numbers-

Henderson: 146 3-point attempts this season (leading the MWC). 33% accuracy. 36% accuracy overall.

JT: 96 three point attempts this season. 36% accuracy. 40% FG percentage overall.

Everything Tavernari has ever been...

BYU is number 11.

I guess the Jay's hate us, because they gave us the two lowest rankings. Bilas - 14, Williams - 17 :gross:

I'm calling this post two-fer,because i want to ask two somewhat unrelated questons.
#1,is the game vs. UNLV this weekend as big a game as I'm thinking?and i mean specifically for our seeding in the tourney?I've heard a few bigtime pundits like Jay...

+1 for a road win, -1 for home loss. I think my math is right.

UNM 3 (wins @ AF, @ TCU, @ Utah, @ Wyo; loss to UNLV)
UNLV 3 (wins @ CSU, @ TCU, @ UNM, @ Wyo; loss to Utah)
BYU 2 (wins @ AF, @ SDSU)
SDSU 1 (wins @ CSU, @ Utah; loss to BYU)
CSU 0...
