If there's a difficult dribble, pass, or shot, he knows how to make it more difficult. Takes an easy left handed layup and turns it into a scoop shot high off the back board. You don't get points for degree of difficulty. Why TJ?
    TO me he looks like he has never adjusted to the fact that unlike HS, in college he is at best marginally athletic and often one of the least athletic people on the floor. He keeps thinking he can do things he did in HS but it doesnt work in D1 ball.
    PLesa excuse the tpyos.

      He came with the reputation of being more athletic than his brother and he was more of a star in HS than Tyler was. His driving game hasn't translated so well to the college one. But he can still be an effective player for us if he can pick his spots better and doesn't try to do more than he can. Other aspects of his game have improved though. He's improved his defense, rebounds well and will probably lead the team in assists. A lot of his problem is also that he probably can't meet the expectations he came with.

      • Looking to be in town Friday night and may take my girls to the UVU game. Any better place to get tickets than the ticket office? Where's DDD when I need him?

          his shooting hasn't translated either.

            He has mastered the turnover game though, there's that.
            "Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."

            Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

            • TJ actually had 7 turnovers, for some reason one of them was marked as a team turnover, and then he threw that pass off of Dalton Nixons foot and they gave that turnover to Nixon.

              Martin locked him down. He was longer, quicker, more athletic. TJ didn't know what to do. He should have stayed around the perimeter and shot spot up threes.

              Also Jashire is officially the guy where the ball movement goes to die. How many times did he hold the ball at the top of the key and jab step, before launching an ill advised three. He should never lead our team in shots.

              Again Bergerson is not a D-1 player.

              Love Baxter.

              Harding is Toolson 2.0, he will play a nice role this year.

              Kolby Lee runs like a mongol.

              Luke continues to miss bunnies inside.

              This team needs Nick Emery.

              Seljaas actually had 5 really good looks from deep in the first 10 minutes (only made 2, but I can live with 40%) Nevada adjusted and he couldn't get a shot off after that.


              Nevada was the better team. We weren't going to win that game. I am glad for the most part we kept it close. But if we can't hit from 3, it is going to be a really long season.

                As a freshman he shot 40% from 3. Last year it dropped 10 points from that in Schroyer's offense. It's too early for this year to tell if he can go back to his earlier success. Maybe he can't, but I'm still going to hope for a couple more games that changing to a more traditional Rose offense will help his shot. I still think he takes a lot of heat from the fans because he came with even higher expectations than his brother and because he looks goofy.

                  I haven't seen the team yet this year, is he still sporting that lesbian haircut?

                      I think you two and BlueK are talking about different players.

                      There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

                          As ugly as Zac's haircut was, he was still a way more attractive lesbian than TJ could ever hope to be.

                              Pretty much agree. Doesn't Harding have more length than Toolson, though?

                              • yikes. NCAA dropped the hammer on BYU.

                                http://www.ncaa.org/about/resources/...tudent-athlete

                                Division I membership-approved infractions penalty guidelines were used to prescribe the following measures:

                                Two years of probation from Nov. 9, 2018, through Nov. 8, 2020.
                                A vacation of records in which the student-athlete participated while ineligible.
                                A reduction of one men’s basketball scholarship, served during the earliest possible academic year (self-imposed by the university).
                                Recruiting restrictions detailed in the public report.
                                A disassociation of one of the boosters (self-imposed by the university).
                                A $5,000 fine (self-imposed by the university).
                                BYU's response:

                                https://byucougars.com/story/m-baske...to-NCAA-Review

                                “The vacation-of-records penalty is extremely harsh and unprecedented given the details of the case. For more than two decades, the NCAA has not required an institution to vacate games in similar cases where the COI found there was no institutional knowledge of or involvement in the violation by either the coaching staff or other university personnel. In fact, this sanction includes the most severe vacation-of-record penalty ever imposed in the history of NCAA Division I basketball for infractions that included no institutional knowledge or involvement. In addition, in the case most similar to this situation, appropriate penalties were imposed, but no wins were vacated. BYU believes the vacation-of-records penalty is unfair and not consistent with recent NCAA precedent. The university plans to appeal the decision.”
