Returning missionaries forward Chris Collinsworth and guard Nick Martineau re-signed as well:

I suggest that they play Davies a lot this year and get him ready for the tournament. there will be growing pains but in the long run we come out ahead. Hartstock needs minutes too. I don't think Miles will get us there except for his defense....

I've been surprised by Emery's terrible shooting thus far. I hope he pulls out of it because we need him to hit open threes since he's not a big offensive threat. Great great defender though. I haven't been impressed by Hartstock, Miles, or Anderson...

BYU wins 82-46

Davies...

Mars, yours may have been first but you failed to quote the Dark Lord of the Sith, so my post was better!

Yeah, I have a hard time figuring Andy Katz out. In one breath he is absolutely DOGGING the Cougs and Coach Rose in every way possible, and then in the next, he's buttering up the guy and the team.

To be honest, I'm STILL holding a grudge against...

* moved the parse error comments to their own thread in Site Administration.

I enjoyed watching the game on the tube last night. (had to tivo it just to watch it) That Canadian team can shoot the 3 especially that Doerksen guy. Geez. I was impressed by the pressure we put on them. We have a lot of quick guys that make it...

In a perfect world, we would want Haws and Davies to be good enough to start along with Fredette, JT, and Emery, because our bigs (offensively and ESPECIALLY defensively) have been our team's weakness the past two years...

Hmm with Collinsworth and now Winder do we have any more scholarships available?
Yeah, 1-2.

It was on BYU.tv as well.

The Gaels also will return swingman Shabazz Muhammad, a sophomore who Rivals.com rates with five stars.

There is another kid from the same high school, Coleman, who I've heard mentioned but know little about. You know, if BYU got the top kid...

I thought we'd be ranked higher as well. I thought we'd be in the 22-32 range. We'll crack the top 25 this year and stay there.
This is how I feel as well.

We don't have a strong schedule this year. We'll to beat the few marquee teams we do...

BYU will be improved this year. I expect them to win the conference championship and go to the tournament championship, whether they win the tournament or not is not yet clear to me. The MWC isn't as good this year as last. Miles will be much better...

Last season I kind of liked Abouo's defense better than Emery's.

Emery always struck me as a more of an intellectual defender. He knows the scouting report and forces players into help or low percentage shots.

Abouo seemed to be more a physical...

Cosmo is the source. ;)

hmm looks like we are going to stay small with Tavernari at the 4.

Here's a break down of regular season big game wins and loses over the last two seasons.

08 - 09

Loses: Arizona State (#17), Wake Forest (#6), @UNM, UNLV, @Utah, @UNLV, SDSU (MWC Tourney), and A&M (NCAA Tourney)
Wins: Tulsa, SDSU, @SDSU,...

So the practice players I'm guessing are just for keeping the team sharp, people to play against when practicing? I never knew they used extra players for that.
