No way we can win this one if we keep giving up offensive rebounds. Giving a good shooting BYU team 2-3 chances. It is all about hustle and they are taking it to us.

If the basketball bounces off your butt because you don't know where it is when it's in play it is on the coach to manage that roster position before next year.

Still down 7 on rebounds
Down 10 on shots taken

We have a chance but we have to stay focused and get as many shots and rebounds as BYU does

We got away with one there. But how hard BYU not committed a single foul in almost 10 minutes of game action?

Look the officiating is bad but why do these dudes insist to show out and complain against us. They sat silently while getting mauled against Cincy and Houston at home

To Me the guy dribbling pushed off hard so it's either a foul in him or a no call on our foul and ball went out of bounds

So funny to hear the announcers say how BYU deserved the call but they forget how the first half ended and all the BYU 'physicality' up to now ...


The refs pretty much made up that call on Missi just now ...
Killing Floor

No reason to cover their best 3 point shooter.
BearkatBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?

Walter leaves his shots short waaayyy too often!
Oldbear83

So they trip Nunn, then call the foul on him?

Are we in Kansas?
Fre3dombear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yeah. We don't flex on anybody
BearkatBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
