I Hate to Brag But...

Post by FurriousCougar »

I'm gonna take this opportunity to say that I told you so about the NM game being a blessing in disguise in terms of Loyd.

I believe it's braggart/jerk, and don't leave out Davies!

I feel a million times more confident when Davies and Abuou are out there FWIW. Davies will go down in history as the best big man to play at BYU--next year he'll be as good as Keena and then he'll have 2 years to build on that. Imagine this team with a guy that draws double teams....Oh yeah!

I kind of a prefer a Davies/Loyd one-two punch over a single Jimmer punch.

This is great though. We need some extra horses going into the end of the season. With Loyd playing the way he is, we don't need Jimmer running the floor 35 min a game.

You could move Jimmer over to the two and have a Loyd/Jimmer/Davies one-two-three combo, or you could have Jimmer in with Davies and have a Jimmer/Davies one-two punch, or...

I like that Loyd/Davies/Jimmer combo. Very potent. Doubt we'll see it though. Jimmer is good at point, but I think he'd be even better at shooting guard. Maybe next season. What other PG guards do we have coming in?

I love that Loyd & Davies are taking advantage of the opportunity. I just hope Jimmer doesn't slump here at the end.

As far as losing to UNM, I don't see how the emergence of Lloyd is a blessing in disguise... He would have been discovered even if JT had blocked out on that stupid offensive rebound (not to mention his missed three) and we had won the game. There is no blessing that I can see in the fact that:

1. BYU's best record ends without a Conference Championship.
2. We play UNLV in their house in the second round of the MWC tournament.
3. Dropping from a potential 2/3 seed to as low as a 8 maybe 9 seed (and you know if we lose to UNLV in the second round those NCAA jerks won't put us higher than a 7 seed).
4. Even if we make it past round one or two in the NCAA, we won't play in Salt Lake... NEW MEXICO WILL.

Wow, lot's of little disguised blessing... now think about what the above picture would look like had JT done his thing right and we had won that game... Lloyd would have been a discovery no matter what, there is no sense in that reasoning....
