Wasn't there some huge disparity in free throws?

Hawaii was 19-27, BYU was 9-11. Rose and Jimmer were not happy to end the first half, and it seemed like the refs were trying to make a point of showing who's the boss in the second half.

I should add how happy I am that Jimmer made a couple shots in garbage time to overtake Tav for the Cougs leading scorer :D

Me too. This basketball prediction game is divisive---I was angry at JT when he overtook Jimmer, and then I loved Jimmer even more when he scored those last two.

Doesn't matter, Sno, you know you can't catch me! ;)

It looked to me like davies got off to a good start, came back after the nose bleed for a few minutes, but didn't really play much after that. Any idea why he sat so much? Miles was poor. Anderson fair. Hartsock was good. I thought Davies should have had a lot more minutes. (of course, my stream frozed in the early 2nd half and I may have missed something crucial)

My thoughts:

- In addition to being a poor sports reporter and interview, Kirkland is also a poor play-by-play caller.

- Fredette is simply amazing.

- Miles will lose his starting job before the semester is over.

- BYU needs to work on defensive rebounding. Through three games, opponents have missed 103 shots, but grabbed 41 offesnive rebounds (39.8% missed shots are offensively rebounded). They are doing great at grabbing offensive rebounds (40 on 94 missed shots for 42.6%) but need to limit opposing team. Especially when we start going up against really good rebounding teams like UNLV, ASU, SDSU and Arizona.

- BYU is a good team when JT is not shooting well. They are a great team when he is shooting well.

- Haws gives Jimmer a complimentary player who can drive to the basket and get to the line. (2nd on the team in FTA).

- BYU seems to be very effective when going small (playing Davies or Hartsock at the 5).

The game wasn't on TV, but for some reason I had the impression that Haws started at Hawaii...

He did, but in place of Abouo, not Miles.
