ESPN says BYU national title contender in basketball

Every time I go to Espn today BYU is all over the frontpage. Jimmer's mug is on the frontpage with the title "Mountain Climbing"

BYU (11). Why the Cougars can win it: Impressively efficient offensive team th

at shoots extremely well from the field (55 percent from 2-point range, 41 percent from 3) and phenomenally from the foul line (77.4 percent, best in the nation). They take care of the ball, too, and play better-than-suspected defense. Guard Jimmer Fredette might be the most underrated player in the country. (You'll read more about him below.) They've already played 10 road or neutral-site games, winning nine of them.



Why they might not: Can a school that hasn't won an NCAA tournament game since 1993 suddenly jump up and win six? Doubtful.



Record against RPI top 50: 2-0.



Record against RPI top 100: 8-1.

FWIW, this is the 3rd post about this article.

My bad. I never visit the bball part. I posted it in the football and they moved it here. I would prefer to have just one forum for all byu sports. more traffic that way. I don't like have to go look at both. i guess i am lazy.

If it's worth saying once, it's worth saying twice.
