the unlv game sucked; get over it. It's not easy to win on the road when a team packs the house for you. we played bad, they played well....

Thank you, this is what I've been trying to say this whole time. ALL teams struggle with road games. It's not as if it's just BYU.

Dang, Michigan St, Villanova, Texas, Temple, Vandy, and Baylor all aren't going to win any tournament games this year. That really stinks.
I'm just a regular, everyday normal guy,
I can't afford a car, I use public transportation,
I don't mind, I read till I reach my destination,
sometimes a newspaper, sometimes a book,
the money I save, this stuff is off the hook,

I'll add my point to this thread too. I'm getting really steamed over our "fans" acting more like trolls. thank you for supporting our team instead of calling them talentless scum for not being 25-0. One loss (even a bad one) does not a bad team or a bad season make. I think this is a pretty amazing team, and I'm glad you do too.

If you're so "steamed" call those posters out and show why their opinion is, in your opinion, wrong. Don't just label everyone who saw BYU lacking their usual drive and effort trolls or bad fans.bigbluepuma wrote:I'll add my point to this thread too.

Are fans going to overreact after any loss? Yes. Evidence- Thread about Miles being a good person.
Are fans going to erupt after losing on the road to an average UNLV team, and BYU showing little to no moxie for the first 10 minutes? This one will. Had BYU shown a little confidence and aggression before it was too late I'd have had no problem with that game.
Like craigo said, it's a loss. Bottom line, UNLV played their game of the year and BYU, hopefully, got their last really bad tasting loss out of the way.

Re: It's not easy to win on the road, ask Michigan State, etc.
The problem I have with this team is that it is the same thing every year. In the middle of the conference run we have a bad game and we never really recover after that. I think this was more than a bad game by us and good game by UNLV. It happens every year with BYU and UNLV down there. That is a problem. We had the same issue against Utah at home the week before. If our front court had any guts, we would have taken it to Utah to start the 2nd half, Foster would have had his 4th foul quickly and we run away with that game. Instead we had a 4 pt lead with 5 minutes to go and Jimmer had to take over. Sure it ended great but I was very concerned after that game and I saw the same thing yesterday. Our front court has no heart and as a whole our team played flat and scared. That is how we play against UNLV there every year. This year is no different than any other year. And unfortunately we play the same way in the first game of the tourney and this year will be no different.
We were exposed twice in the last three games and it will continue the rest of the year. We won't win the MWC tourney and will lose in the first round. After watching BYU basketball since 1989, I have seen this movie before and the ending sucks.

Wow, so 19-4 and tied for 1st place in the 7th best conference is average? That explains why you're upset that a 22-3 team lost to them.declocoug wrote:Are fans going to erupt after losing on the road to an average UNLV team, and BYU showing little to no moxie for the first 10 minutes?

Re: It's not easy to win on the road, ask Michigan State, etc.
We played an athletic team and it gave us some problems. That is what we will see at March Madness. We see that so infrequently that it gives us problems. Upgrading our schedule is needed. When they presuure the passing lanes we need to take advantage of it. When is the last time you have seen a backdoor play?
The loss hurts but it can be to benefit to play a game like that.
