February: Other NCAA D1 games

[navery12]

Yes, I watched him defend and it’s not good but Mahaney is a bad defender too. Brea is a 2 guard Mahaney a 1 but all in all Brea is bigger and can score, handle, get his shot off. It’s been discussed here ad nauseum especially with our main guard Hass hampered by injuries. But Brea actually looks like a player physically out there. He scored 20 points, 2 assists, 4-10 from 3 against a very good team Alabama.

Brea is completely irrelevant to the Mahaney discussion. I have no idea why this keeps being brought up

Again. Brea and Mahaney don’t play remotely the same position. On this team Brea would also be coming off the bench

BYU@UofA is VERY entertaining! Both teams are 18-8 and are putting on a 1st class shooting display!

How do they not play remotely the same position? Mahaney may have been brought in to play PG but it’s clear he isnt one, he’s a SG, and Brea is a SG/SF so there’s more positional overlap than not. Brea would come off the bench here too and he wouldn’t have solved our backup PG problem but at least we’d have an 8 man rotation.

Cause Intended positions notwithstanding, weren’t we recruiting Brea right up until Mahaneys commitment? So at the time it seemed pretty clear that it was one or the other. The fact that Mahaney began the season as starting PG rewrote that narrative, but based on how things have turned out I’m questioning what Hurley was thinking about Mahaney every step of the way.

Your thought process stopping point was here.

If OP wrote “Mahaney wasnt recruited to play remotely the same position as Brea” then that would have been true. But Just because Mahaney was recruited to play PG doesn’t mean he is one, so turns out he does in fact play the same position as Brea.

It was Brea or run the risk that one of the sophomores would bounce. They decided not to risk it. It wasn’t Mahaney. I don’t get how people who post so incessantly and have access to the same reported information as the rest of us flat out refuse to internalize anything that contradicts the narrative they want to push.

BYU prevails by 1! 96-95! Great game!

That they both had the same record as the Huskies and that UofA was ranked #19?

Quoting myself With interpolation to help with reading comprehension: “the fact that Mahaney began the season as starting PG rewrote [the] narrative [that it was either Mahaney or Brea].” That’s not how you push a narrative. If I incessantly posted that “Hurley should have chosen Brea over Ross” then that would be pushing a narrative.
