I know the Zags are supposed to be good, but that was just an embarrassing half for BYU. BYU's not playing bad defense but everything is dropping for Gonzaga anyway, while BYU can't get anything to go in on the other end.

The Zags won the tip-off and scored :20 into the game. They've never looked back and BYU has never threatened (to even make it a game). The Zags have a complete game and are stacked. BYU is still missing pieces and underperforming with what they have. As they say - there's always next year.

BYU making it a game with 1:30 left to play, 6 point lead for the Zags.

Definitely a better second half. This game only confirms my feeling that this team is the biggest waste of potential I've ever seen at BYU.

Re: When #1 rolls into Provo...
Nice fight by the cougars in half 2. I'm leaning more and more towards joining the wagon of being done with Rose. Just one example: Who coaches their players to let 10 plus seconds run off the clock multiple times in the final 2 minutes before fouling? I know we can also likely get worse with a new coach, but we are never going to break through the ceiling it feels like.

Cougs fall by 10, didn't have much business being in this game but made it exciting for a few minutes.

I'm still willing to give Rose a little more time but there needs to be a complete shakeup in the assistant coaches at the very least.

Showed well against #1 in the land. Gonzaga will throttle a lot of teams this year.

Re: When #1 rolls into Provo...
I'm just worried that the coaches/team are going to come away from this game thinking, "Man, having Nick wouldn't made the difference last night." Instead, I hope they're realizing, "Gee, maybe Nick being limited was part of why we were as successful as we were last night. "
