BYU Post Game Thread

I think seeing Ross play this well and not being open minded to the possibility of him starting given what the board agrees is our current weakness in that group (athletic Castle, Jackson wing defender) is not giving him enough credit.

He's played well and worked hard to fix and overcome the things people wanted him to work on. He deserves a chance to see if he can earn the starting spot for himself while Mullins is out just like Stew had the opportunity to all summer and up until now.

It's a no risk situation. He goes into the starting lineup and either plays well enough to stay there or he doesn't and goes back to his former role. I don't get what the downside is to doing that outside of worst case scenario situations about how rewarding a guy by starting him could lead to affecting their confidence.
I have been one of the biggest Ross backers. But Mullins will and should start. He may not be AJ but he is probably our best freshman besides Castle. And I think he comes in a better offensive player than Castle. Ross will have a big role and you might see him become the first player off the bench as he can play at least two maybe three positions so he is our Swiss Army knife.
 
Dybsanta Worth every dollar BYU paying him; the kid is a star ( already) . Thought Alex played his best game ever in showing that he can play in the league ; made 3’s , put ball on floor and was competitive on defense. Tonight we saw why they went hard after Silas . Not sure where Mullins minutes coming from ( looking at tonight’s minutes distribution ) . Thought Stewart and Ross did a good job guarding Dybsanta. The type of win that adds to the seed line in march .
Not sure where Mullins minutes are coming from here is a hint look at Stewart, Ross, Ball and Smith just for a clue. You will understand once he comes back. Mullins is not just another freshman he is going to be an assassin combined with Demary.
 
prefer Silas “Campari” Demary?
Silas "The Midas" Demary.


ˈmaɪdɪs/ Other forms: Midases. Definitions of Midas. noun. (Greek legend) the greedy king of Phrygia who Dionysus gave the power to turn everything he touched into gold.

The Midas touch...
 
I've never heard of let's start the struggling player over the player that's playing well before.

The mental gymnastics for some on this board to make this make sense is hilarious and a part of the entertainment of Ross playing well. Haha
It’s the belief that some guys are most effective because they bring energy and a spark. Stew is not an energy and spark guy. Rashad was better off the bench than as a starter.
 
Just beat a top 10 team with a top 3 pick without even playing a full 40 minutes in the first half of November. Maybe only 20 minutes were B+

This team could be very good.
 
This is the actual rule for anyone interested.

A player is allowed to lift the pivot as long as it doesn’t come back down before the shot is released.
I looked up the rules at different sources after seeing your post and they say the same. I stand corrected from original position thinking it was a travel. Good move AJ.

Rashad was actually better off as a starter than a bench player, at least for the 2004 championship team. Originally, Denham Brown was the starter and Rashad Anderson came off the bench. Sometime later in the middle of the season Calhoun replaced Denham Brown in the starting lineup with Rashand Anderson and that team took off and won the title.

Your original point stands, some guys are better off bringing energy and spark off the bench. Stewart might be better off the bench-he was good in 2024 (i.e Marquette BET game) and on and off in 2025. No matter what role Stewart plays, Husky fans just want to see more consistency.

Just don't throw Ross the ball when trying to inbound the ball while facing a Full Court Press. He looked like the proverbial deer in the headlights just before he had the ball stripped from his hands. He had no clue what to do. Granted, it looked like he was fouled while they stripped the ball.
