BYU will be playing without Lamont Morgan Jr. (whose surgery is completed and went well), and Brandon Davies is unlikely. You think we still win? ;)

I would really like to see the team try and dominate on the low post today. This is the kind of game where we need to get some confidence down there and become a force. We all know that we can play guard ball and destroy these guys by 30, but what does that do for us?

Exactly. Let the low post get a lot of possessions and let the backups play for significant minutes.

Sheesh, to put up 90+ on a team that chews on the shot clock every possession is quite impressive.

Yes, good win, and I hate to be ungrateful, but since conference started we don't seem to see these kinds of game from the Cougars against the other three top teams of the conference. I'm not saying we should blow them out by any means, I just want to see us shoot like we've shown we can like this game and CSU for once and quit this deer in the headlights type performances.

It was just a hard week after that UNLV loss and then see us score fifty some points in the first half and then see UNLV score today only 2 more points for their whole game than they had in just the first half against BYU. Also seeing UNLV then lose their next two games didn't make last Saturday's game feel any better and see them fall out of the top 25.

All we did today was hand Air Force their worst MWC lose EVER.

Kitic scored 48 points. Wow.

(declo, you got 29)

EDIT: Haws led the team in steals, not Emery

We're +51 against Air Force this year. Other teams are going to be hard pressed to match that.

BYU had another GREAT game from Tavernari (led the team in scoring with 19 points, 5 of 7 from 3 point range, perfect 2 of 2 from the 3 point line, 5 rebounds- 1 offensive, 2 assists, 3 steal).

Haws and Emery also broke out of shooting slumps, combining to go 12 of 17 for 34 points.

And Schmoe surged back into the lead by a slim four-point margin...

Sno is hot on your trail too, only a 10-point gap!

And though hawkwing is doing well, that underdead guy is doing terrible... :whistle:

Oh, and Lamont Morgan Jr. is out 2-4 weeks...

Our RPI took a huge nosedive as a result of playing the 243rd ranked team. We're currently 26 when on friday we were 19.

Obviously the RPI doesn't account for giving Air Force the biggest whooping in their history.
