BYU vs SD

Watched the game tonight and SD played a very determined, slow-down, inside-outside game. They have the big (3 players at 6-9, 1 at 6-11) to create some problems and Johnny Dee and Anderson are lightning quick (outside shooting and dribble drive penetration). I sure hope Y shows up with the big 3(Davies, Haws, Carlino) scoring points because if they don't, we lose this game.

We win this game by 15 and move on to tomorrow

We keep Dee in check and we'll be fine. Our bigs can contain their bigs. Davies does need to stay out of foul trouble.

Very aggressive start and a horrible pass by Carlino to get him well on his way to the nightly quota.

Like clockwork Davies picks up an off the ball foul which helped no one.

Uh... good pass Zylstra just got lackadaisical in getting it. GOt it taken away from him.

I can't believe Zylstra is still in this game. Addition by subtraction by losing him.

Nice replay of Davies vacating the 3 to go guard someone on the screen and someone driving right into the hoop for an easy layup.

Cusick is possibly the worst defender of all time.

I just don't understand why everyone stands around at the 3 and waits for Carlino to shoot it. SMH

Good hustle all around, but 2 missed layups in a row. Yikes.

I like the pace of the game, but no one is finishing, and we are just standing around waiting for someone else to shoot. Carlino and Winder are the only ones looking to score at hte moment.

Carlino our leading rebounder with 10 mins in? Big man rebounding?



Davies sucks at boxing out. Amazing to me that you haven't learned that in 4 years of college bball. Gets called out on it by the announcers.

This zone defense SUCKS. Any team that is even halfway coached can exploit this thing with about 2 plays all night. Big men playing at the 3 line, just ridiculous.

I like these announcers. (Brandon Davies didn't even post up that possession)



I've been saying this stuff all year.

Add it to the list. The only thing that has gotten better is his FT shooting imo.

It's possible we play the most porous zone in the country. Everyone is pretty much always open. There is no way man-to-man could ever hurt us as much as playing zone has this season. I can't believe Rose doesn't see that.

I can count on one hand the number of times this season a BYU player has tried to take it to the hole. This dump it to Davies and watch strategy does not work.

Agreed on both points Mizzou.



Zylstra running shot in the lane. Davies taking fade away 15 footers, as if he had the shooting touch of Hartsock SMH.



Bench them all. I'd rather see the Cougs losing with Austin, Fusi and Sharp hustling and rebounding than Davies standing around on offense and playing the 3 point line on defense.

Hard to watch, cheer, or feel good about Cougar hoops. Just lose and get rejected by NIT and close shop.
