Ain't a run if you don't win a game.

BYU went from possibly having a 3 point game but EB missed the and 1 FT. Since then, it has been ALL Cardinal.

Down 4 now

Childs just fouled out. Stanford missing shots and free throws.

That was a big stanford 3.

BYU ice cold from 3 tonight.

Tell ya what. BYu's ROC puts Stanford to shame. Unless it's spring break and no one home.

We'll, that's sad.



I will say this, pathetic showing by Stanfords fans.

Ha! We almost pulled it off! We had a shot. If Haws had just made the extra pass Cannon and Bryant were wide open for the 3.



Oh well.



I like this team and look forward to watching them next season.

The last 30 or so seconds were something! We almost pulled not a rabbit but a hippo out of the hat.

If we can just keep from losing players this off season, we could have a great year next year. We need one or two more key guys and we could even be scary good. I hate always having to look towards next year’s team though.

If Haws and Seljaas can find their shot, we could win the WCC next year, especially if our defense continues to improve. This year the defense played about as well as our outside shot was falling. Hopefully next year we can learn to play defense even when the offense isn't rolling.

Stanford appeared very disinterested, but they rebounded at will. Our guys couldn't even make layups in the 2nd half.

BYU had a lot of chances in that game. Missed layups and a couple out of the ordinary missed FTs by Bryant...

crazy and frustrating game as a BYU fan.

I look forward not being disappointed in this underachieving team any more. I welcome the off-season.

Off Topic, but how did Stanford not make it in the NCAA tournament? Didn't they play a monster non-conf. schedule?

Stanford did play a monster non-conference schedule...and lost every single big OOC game, most by 15-20 points. They also lost to Eastern Washington, Portland State, and Long Beach State. Best OOC wins were Northeastern (??) and Montana. Also, lost to Cal (8-23) in conference play.



They were the 5-seed in the PAC 12 tournament. Beat #12 seed Cal in the first round and lost to #4 seed UCLA in the quarterfinals.

Question should be how did Stanford get such a high seeding in the NIT.

If you thought Stanford looked really good last night, just remember who they were playing.

If anything, BYU's NIT run continues -- three losses in a row and counting.
