BYU @ Santa Clara

Sloppy, physical game of runs so far.



4-0 us, 7-0 them, 6-0 us.

And now 6-0 Santa Clara.



The officials are letting everyone play but Matt Carlino.

We're playing good, physical defense and contesting shots well. Turning over the ball too much on offense, though.

Lots of noise from the BYU crowd as Zylstra hits a three!

Noah's stepping up big tonight, with 11 points already.

Much more consistent offense has the lead up to 7.

This is shaping up like the game in Provo, where Noah and Brandon both had 20+ points.

Way too many turnovers and missed easy shots make it a close game again, 34-31 at the half.

On a side note, smc is getting punished by Murray st.

One of the fans on here from another WCC team on said something about how they tend to lose steam at the end of the season. Does anyone know if that's something that's been going on for more than the past couple of years?

I have no idea, but it was nice to see both unlv and sdsu lose today so that the Mwc losers have nothing to gloat about.

One guy out and Dellavadova limping vs a very good team. SMC was doomed. Too bad - timing is everything. Could have been a great game two weeks ago.

We start out the second half with two misses at the rim, then two fast-break baskets. I definitely feel more comfortable if we can keep the tempo faster, provided we avoid the turnovers.

For as much back-and-forth scoring as there was at San Francisco, there's almost none today; most of tonight's scoring is a few baskets by each team at a time.

Half of our turnovers have been offensive fouls.

Charles has a knack for making tough plays look easy and easy plays tough.

Hartsock getting robbed of his blocks tonight by poor officiating.

Yeah, the refs have been calling everything a foul this half.

San Fran's up four on Gonzaga, 24-21.

OH MY GOSH! That does not look good. That wasn't a dirty play or anything, but it ended up looking like a WWE move.
