BYU Post Game Thread

Solo has to be smarter than he was today. That was a boneheaded foul that spark their run.

Also, the stage looked a little too big for Stew. He looked nervous throughout the game.

Can't wait to get Mullin back. The shooting and spacing he'll provide will do wonders for the offense.

I think solo was trying to do too much tonight. Sometimes these games where you know basically every NBA team has their people in the building you press trying to show what you can do instead of playing your game.

Dybansta post move on AK was clearly a travel he used 2 different pivot feet

Pushes off a lot too.

 

[Brochacho]

Fouls - fixable. Struggles with pressure - fixable. Not running offense for like 10 minutes - fixable. I was hoping to see us go for the kill halfway through the second but now I'm just happy with the win. What a change of emotions.

 

[Fan1978]

forgettable games from Stewart and Ball

Stewart has not improved, many bad passes at crucial junctures of second half. Ross seems to have passed him

They switched me off as well here in South Carolina. We've got our own Heidi Game - just like the Raiders game 57 years ago. I screamed from here. I'm sure you guys in New England heard me. We ought to put Dave Benedict on this so it doesn't happen again.

Top 10 win. Let’s enjoy it.

It’s hard when UConn absolutely kicked their ass for 25 out of 30 minutes and is up 15 to 20 points and then can’t play defense for the last 10 and almost loses … but hey didn’t lose so I will savor that.

 

[Skiblets]

The problem wasn’t a stagnant offense. We scored the same number of points in each half, 43.

The problem was all the fouls - same issue as last year - and the corresponding patch work roster in the second half.

Gotta clean it up on D

Never should’ve been this close. Yea, we beat a top 10 team, but that team didn’t play a starter and their big was out of commission early in the game. Yes, we are down Mullins, so that can somewhat of a wash…

I dislike blowing a 20 point lead. Very bad finish to this game, but happy with the dub no matter what

But we never blew it.

AK looks like what I expected him to look like last year. Everything he's doing offensively is with purpose and he looks super confident. I know there was talk this offseason on here about AK settling back more into a 4th option type of player and not one of our leading scorers, but I always disagreed with that, no reason he shouldn't be a 17ppg type of player with the way he looks right now.

 

[navery12]

We have a tendency to slow down the offense with a double digit lead. Need to break that habit as it seems to get everyone out of rhythm

Yet it continues to work. I understand it's frustrating to watch, but there's a reason Dan Hurley keeps doing it

UConn up 18. Refs, “This is getting out of hand. Time to call every touch foul known to mankind on UConn”

Stop it

 

[BFieldHusky]

I think we took our foot off the gas a little bit, but I think people are massively overreacting to that 2nd half. BYU is a very good team. If the roles were reversed and made a big comeback in the 2nd half I don't think we'd be saying it was because BYU stopped trying

In March, when it matters, it will be a Quad 1 win at a neutral site.

Braylon Mullins is worth more than a K. Davus

 

[Palatine]

This was a very good win in long season. Nice one to get under our belt.

 

[TheHorde]

I’m excited to see Mullins added to the mix, and quite possibly Furphy for depth minutes too. This team has exciting potential.

If you had the sound on the announcers literally said if you're in South Carolina or LA you're about to get switched to the women's basketball game and here's how to keep watching this game

 

[TRest]

We just beat a top 10 team in game 4 of the season, I'd say our players are ready for prime time

Missing their best big for most of the game and another starter for dui. Whatever, we had a couple of guys not step up at all and it’s a problem.

UConn up 18. Refs, “This is getting out of hand. Time to call every touch foul known to mankind on UConn”

Fouls:

BYU - 22
UConn - 21

 

[NickDanger]

Anyone whining about holding on to that one just needs to take a lap and log off for the night. The future number one pick played like it in the second half and we held on.

Are you going to come turn our computers off if we don't log off voluntarily?

 

[specialisthusky]

Dybansta is absolutely nasty and has no business playing in the NCAA. Most pro ready freshman I’ve seen in a while.

Having gotten that out of my system. A great win against a top 10 team. Missed a few opportunities for the kill shot that I expect we will learn to hit as the season goes along. There’s a lot of talent here and a lot of heart. Proud of the boys for hanging on tonight and hope we take it to Arizona.

 

[kansashusky]

The juniors need to be better.

Glad we have a lottery pick sitting on the bench.

First signature non-con win. BYU will finish as a top 2 seed.

 

[Hogoff]

Holy crap, they cut off the last 10 minutes in South Carolina to put on their women’s game. Thanks for the agitation!

Yeah. That pissed me off. I finally got it going in the app with 5:00 to play.

 

[uconntoatl]

Yet it continues to work. I understand it's frustrating to watch, but there's a reason Dan Hurley keeps doing it

It went from an 18 point lead to a two point win. That’s not my definition of working—-what we do before we slow down the offense is what I consider what is working well, not what we do when the offense slows down intentionally.

 

[NickDanger]

UConn up 18. Refs, “This is getting out of hand. Time to call every touch foul known to mankind on UConn”

This paranoia that the refs are against UConn is ridiculous

 

[TheHorde]

Missing their best big for most of the game and another starter for dui. Whatever, we had a couple of guys not step up at all and it’s a problem.

And we were down Mullins. Ok. It’s all part of the game.
