If you were to tell me that Tavernari and Jimmer would be a collective 3-22 and that the team would still beat ASU by 13 points, well I'd have thought you unhinged and yet...there you have it. Unhinged and all....We won the game on the offensive boards, steals and turnovers it looks like...Thoughts?

Jimmer might have surprised me, not Tav.

Tav shows up for about 20% of the games, as where Jimmer probably hits a "slump" in about 20% of the games.

hm, we beat ASU worse than Duke did...

Just sayin'

Dave Rose has discovered Noah Hartsock. It's nice to have a more traditional 4 for the 1st time in half a decade.

More Hartsock and less JT vs USU and we're undefeated.

[BoiseBYU]

I agree with Craigo...and Tyler Haws is really establishing himself eh? 11 rebounds!

Hartsock and JT both played 25 minutes today. JT made more 3-pointers, made more free throws, grabbed more rebounds, dished out more assists, and blocked more shots. Let's crucify him!

Seriously, JT was 2-8 today, not great. Fredette was 1-13 (0-5 from 3-point range). Dang, let's bench Jimmer!

Seriously, some fans are way too reactionary. Not the educated fan though.

I just love how JT gets booed every time he misses a shot, but Jimmer gets cheered for going 1-13. Seriously, some fans need to pull their heads out!

How many times did JT's defense cost either an easy bucket or a foul on the person who had to help out?? Although JT hit some big shots tonight I'm all for him coming off the bench and letting Hartsock start. I can't say enough about the game Haws played tonight though. As for Jimmer the guy is going through a rough patch. 2 of his last 3 games have been sub-par.

Also, the Cougs REALLY need to work on some sort of an inside attack. At about the 7:00 minute mark in the second half I was getting worried when ASU made that huge run and our team looked completely lost on the offensive side of the ball. We were running around the perimeter like idiots when they should have just TRIED to dump it off to Miles and see if he could do anything. When you have NO inside game at all why should the other team worry about it. I mean let Hartsock see what he can do down low. He's got some nice post moves. Coach Rose really needs to incorporate some sort of scoring attack in the post to help balance the team a little more.

Probably because JT is consistently in slumps, and seems to pick the worst time to throw up his prayers. If Jimmer sucked it up in 80% of the games, I'd be mad at him, too.

Yep, Tav got to where he's at by being bad 80% of the time.
