I'm very pleased to announce that I have finished the initial programming of a new and completely redesigned CougarCorner Prediction game. I have been rushing to get it finished in time to allow anyone who wants to join to do so, so there may be...

Predictions close at midnight the night before game day. This is due to the fact that in the past game times have changed after the schedule was input which allowed some people to enter their predictions after a game had finished.
Well, I have seen four games this season so far and I have to say I'm unimpressed. For as talented as this team is supposed to be, we look sloppy and unenergetic.
Tonight against BSU, we had 6 turnovers in the first 5 min. It took close to 10 min...

I am optimistic after the Utah game. Lohner is WCC freshman of the week. I don't remember Spencer Johnson but he is shooting very well. They are getting more from more players. I agree that Harward is doing very and has very good moves for 6' 11 255.
Torn ACL. Guy is out for the season. Poor guy. Can't catch a break. Was looking forward to watching him play. Hope he can keep that bounce after surgery.

An incredible string of bad luck for this young man. Hopefully next year is the year.
What is surprising to me is that BYU is picked to finish #2 by WCC coaches, but only 1 player on all-conference. The reason is this rule:
Coaches may not vote for their own team in the preseason poll. Preseason All-WCC voting is restricted to...

Good run down. There are a lot of question marks with this team, what we do have going for us is a hungry coaching staff and an injury-free roster (knock on wood). I like the size we have. It's nice to have more than one big.
The Cougars are currently ranked No. 89 in the kenpom.com preseason rankings. Here are the kenpom.com rankings of their 11 nonconference opponents/possible opponents in order of rating: UConn (No. 43), San Diego State (No. 44), USC (No. 48), Utah...
I thought the team looked pretty good tonight. The team looked quick if not very sharp. Improvements will of course come as practices progress. I was surprised that I didn't see more (any) of Spencer Johnson. Is he injured?
The BYUtv broadcast was...

I finally got around to watching this practice.
First of all we are going to be a big, good-shooting and deep team. We lack a great one on one perimeter scorer. So everything is going to be able getting the ball into the post to Lee and Haarms.
GU keeps doing the same. Top 5 team. Did not know LMU fired their coach.

Brandon Averette was recruited from Oklahoma State to Utah Valley by Mark Pope. Now Averette follows Pope to BYU as a grad transfer with 1 year to play.
I thought the scholarships were all allocated but he must be getting one...

Can we please update the Honor Code so players like Lohner and Averette can wear the hair they way the want, and not the way someone 60 years thought was the pinnacle of corporate responsibility.

Thanks Fido for the list that you made in another thread. Here is how I see the line-up. Stats are for the most recent significant season that player had.

Agree. Great post - although I'm not sure that I follow you on Lee hitting his ceiling. He played much much better last year than the year before, and I don't know why that shouldn't continue again.
Not sure which forum to put this. Why do the big schools have nothing happen to them?

I think death penalty is over selling it:
- $5,000 fine
- return ~$60,000 from NCAA tourney appearance
- forfeit wins in nine sports during period of violations
- 2.5% reduction in football scholarships for two seasons(~1.5 fewer)
- 5% reduction in...
