Trying to get a handle on the roster for next year.

Seniors who are leaving:
F Yoeli Childs
G TJ Haws
G Taylor Maughan (walk-on)
F Dalton Nixon
G Zac Seljaas
G Jake Toolson
G Evan Troy (walk-on)

Returning rotation players:
PG Alex Barcello,...

I'm sure Spokane will happen if they've already shut down Seattle. Maybe not.

Play uber-physical w/ Yeoli. Feel free to foul him on every touch. Refs won't call it every time. When you are called for it, he's 50/50 from the FT line. And all those misses at the line will cause him to miss more shots in close.

Make BYU beat...

But jumping from unranked to #14 is BUI

At least Pepperdine took them to 2OT, but what a game by Ford with 42, but it wasn't the best, because Pepperdine's Ross goes off for 43. Two players accounting for 85 points. Incredible.

I just saw that BYU tweeted out that someone who was at the BYU vs Gonzaga game at the Marriott Center has been diagnosed with the Coronavirus. How many other people did that person make contact with?! I was at that game...

Assuming we continue our current win streak and beat SMC and Gonzaga to win the WCC tourney, what seed do we get? Does Gonzaga get a higher seed?

I think if that happens we get a 3 seed as well as Gonzaga.

Congrats to Yoeli, Haws and Toolson (double for Toolson)

Very surprised to see Pacific's Damon Stoudamire picked as COY over Mark Pope. I would have accepted Mark Few, but I don't see that what Stoudamire did surpassed what Pope achieved. I...

Cougar nation, a buddy and I are on the hunt for some tickets to the WCC tourney. There are the usual places to go for such things (StubHub, etc), but I thought I would throw it out there in case anyone here knows of a good lead or two or maybe has...

There was another tweet that I can't find now that said, playing in empty arena would give the PAC12 an unfair advantage.

I know it is still early, but I think Holmoe hit a home run with Pope. Losing Baxter and then having Yoeli for less than half the games and yet seeing how competitively good they are is remarkable. Defense is improved. Shooting is improved. I’m...

Actually it was TCU

It's hard to believe that BYU is 4-4 at Firestone Fieldhouse in Malibu over the last 8 years. In the period of 2014-16, Pepperdine beat us 3 of the 4 games we played, but we have won our last two (2) in Malibu, and the last five (5) games against...

Santa Clara is hanging with SMC.

A Santa Clara win would put SMC and Pacific tied for 3rd in the WCC. SMC plays Gonzaga on Sat, which will likely be a loss.

If SMC drops these two, we likely play Pacific in the WCC tournament. I'd rather play...

We will play in this tournament next year against. BC #150, George Mason #166 and Tulsa #86. Not as good as the Maui this year.

I haven't seen this posted or really discussed around here. And this could have easily been posted in the football section but I'm a basketball guy and it's basketball season so I'll post it here.

The NCAA is taking steps to change their...

We did it! Wow. Who would have thought this 6 months ago. Congrats to the Cougs. Still plenty to play for, but something we haven't seen in almost a decade.

In some rankings, we're as high as 19.

Just keep winning, Cougs.

What a bunch of whiners:

Just read through the posts about last night's game. According to them we are thugs and don't know how to play basketball, like basketball is supposed to be played with your pinkies out and crumpets. It's basketball....

Vote for Yoeli! Jimmer this poll. Merrill from USU is in a lead but not for long.

Interesting to note that actually it is probable more important to beat Santa Clara and Pepperdine than Gonzaga. If we lose to Gonzaga, we're still on track for the Big Dance. We lose to either of these other team, or tragically both, then it's not...

I saw on KSL Sports that the game is sold out! Gonzaga fans also tend to travel well. However, I also know a few local people that went to Gonzaga law school so they may have a few local fans. I'm ready for a rockin atmosphere!
