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.
Congrats to Yoeli, Haws and Toolson (double for Toolson)
Very surprised to see Pacific's Damon Stoudamire picked as COY over Mark Pope. I would have accepted Mark Few, but I don't see that what Stoudamire did surpassed what Pope achieved. I...

Interesting that Few and Pope made the 10 but not Stoudamire.
Cougar nation, a buddy and I are on the hunt for some tickets to the WCC tourney. There are the usual places to go for such things (StubHub, etc), but I thought I would throw it out there in case anyone here knows of a good lead or two or maybe has...

Feel free to private message me, might be able to hook you up
I know it is still early, but I think Holmoe hit a home run with Pope. Losing Baxter and then having Yoeli for less than half the games and yet seeing how competitively good they are is remarkable. Defense is improved. Shooting is improved. I’m...

With the kind of money brought in by BYU football and BBall, coaches salaries should never be in the bottom 75% of salaries. Maybe they should give Pope his $600k base salary and bracket it up according to how much the BBall team brings in for the...
It's hard to believe that BYU is 4-4 at Firestone Fieldhouse in Malibu over the last 8 years. In the period of 2014-16, Pepperdine beat us 3 of the 4 games we played, but we have won our last two (2) in Malibu, and the last five (5) games against...

Colby Ross averages 20 pts a game. We held him to 8 points tonight. 8! That's some amazing defense. Colby was never able to get it going.
Pepperdine went with the same game plan San Diego and Santa Clara went with: try to shut down BYU's three...
I haven't seen this posted or really discussed around here. And this could have easily been posted in the football section but I'm a basketball guy and it's basketball season so I'll post it here.
We did it! Wow. Who would have thought this 6 months ago. Congrats to the Cougs. Still plenty to play for, but something we haven't seen in almost a decade.
Just read through the posts about last night's game. According to them we are thugs and don't know how to play basketball, like basketball is supposed to be played with your pinkies out and crumpets. It's basketball....

I read this in the Spokesman Review but nowhere else as of yet. Remember all the games where some of us have complained about the refs. BYU won fair and square. We are now ranked at 14.
I just watched the highlights and reran it several times. It...
Vote for Yoeli! Jimmer this poll. Merrill from USU is in a lead but not for long.

After last night's win, this makes me upset. YC desires to win this. If each of the ROC would throw down 5-10 votes, we could see if we could turn this around.
Interesting to note that actually it is probable more important to beat Santa Clara and Pepperdine than Gonzaga. If we lose to Gonzaga, we're still on track for the Big Dance. We lose to either of these other team, or tragically both, then it's not...

TJ scored or assisted on 23 of BYU's last 27 points. The dude was huge last night.
TIME PLAY SCORE
8:38 Yoeli Childs made Free Throw.
57 - 58
8:09 TJ Haws made Jumper. 57 - 60
7:40 TJ Haws made Jumper. 60 - 62
5:55 Connor Harding made Layup. 64 -...
I saw on KSL Sports that the game is sold out! Gonzaga fans also tend to travel well. However, I also know a few local people that went to Gonzaga law school so they may have a few local fans. I'm ready for a rockin atmosphere!

Doubt the SC game will be sold out. It's in the middle of the week.
A win is a win, but San Diego had no business being in that game. I hope this wakes up BYU that you have to show up every game no matter what your opponents win/loss record is.

I think the pick and roll has a way to go, but it certainly is better under Pope than Rose. In general, Pope seems to have the team cutting to basket and running back doors more than Rose. I like it.
I actually fell asleep in the 1st half and woke up at the end to see they had won. I guess that's what I get for watching the game from my bed with all the lights off. I DVR'd it, so I'm good to watch it tonight.

Several of those games where without Yoeli. He improves getting open looks.
Great point, because actually 5 of the 7 was minus Yoeli Childs. That somewhat indicates a trend and one that is good, because with him in the game, we're definitely a...
I didn't realize that Eric Mika played an important part.
In 2016, he began his BYU career. One day, the Cougar’s star center, Eric Mika, asked the young freshman how he felt about the Church. Childs told his teammate that he had read and prayed...
44-25 at the half. Best defensive effort I’ve seen in a long time. Everyone is locked in tonight. USF has made the big runs last few meetings. Hopefully not tonight. Baxter burns redshirt. Think it will help in the long run this season.
Last post
It was great to see Baxter out there but he was definitely rusty. He actually looked lost on defense and didn't know when to rotate and bumped into his own teammate. Coach Pope said that he hadn't even had a full week of contact practice yet.
Was a beat down. Portland had no answer for Childs and Toolson continued his shooting tear.
We completely out rebounded the Pilots 47 to 26, which shocked me a bit given Portland has some height on their team.
When we play teams like Portland I am...

I just watched the highlights on Youtube. The best play may have been Childs save from a ball out of bounds. He landed past the blue paint but got it to Toolson for a 3.
I'm also impressed with the ball movement and selfless play of the team. In...
Big, big game today. I think we got these guys. Only potential risk, TJ Haws may be out because his wife could go in labor any minute. Let's hope a BYU win puts her into labor.
With Childs back, assuming TJ also plays, I see us coming out on fire....

I think prices, second screens, and moving the student section has affected the atmosphere in the MC.
With the students on one side of the court it added to the raucousness. Putting the student section at one end kind of isolates them. Students...
Lets hope the cougars can wrap up a very successful non-conference schedule this weekend. The latest ESPN bracketology has them projected as a 10 seed in the midwest based on the results so far.
The most disappointing part of the season so far...

Best scenario for us is for SMC to split with Gonzaga and run the rest and we win the rest of our games.
Tied the school record for most threes in a game at 17. Passing and shooting was a thing of beauty.
Also a thing of beauty, seeing Kolby Ross on Pepperdine spend a good portion of the game on the bench.

Geez Gunk, you're slipping in your old age. You forgot to mention that all five starters were in double figures AGAIN! Six in total.
