Florida favored by 2.5 points

Based upon how the last 10 have gone for BYU, I think that is a fair line. Basically, it is one JIMMER-bomb away from a BYU win.



If we get a fast start, I love our chances. Love them.

LOVE being the underdog :evil:

what happened to the last team that was picked to beat us by less than 3 points?



Oh yeah. We beat them by 23.

BYU has NOT LOST a game under 10 points, IF IT IS CLOSE WE GOT IT, we either win, or get 10+ point losses.

Fair line. They are the 2 seed. They are playing closer to home and will probably have the crowd (although, that means almost nothing to Jimmer).



If they can start the game off like they did on Saturday, it will be about the same result. They were within one or two points 8 minutes in, before Jimmer even scored. They may have even had the lead.

That's about when I joined Saturday's game, when they were trading the lead back and forth and were in the early 20's. I had the same thought as you--we've hung in with them, we'll be able to take over at some point. Hope for something similar on Thursday!

Sounds reasonable to me too. I like BYU playing with a chip on their shoulder like they have twice against SDSU and the big games that have mattered: Arizona, 3d time against NM, Gonzaga.



BYU can beat Florida. Florida knows it, BYU knows it, so there is no "in awe" of the Gators nervousness that BYU should suffer.



Here's to 3 in a row and an Elite 8 appearance and beyond.

Good. Let's prove them wrong, Cougs!

Great. Hopefully being the dog will help take off the "super heroes" tendency that can come from feeling like the "world-beaters" that seemed to be to at least those of us who do not think that the gods of bball live in the big 10, middle east, and acc.
