2019-2020 BYU Cougars basketball

[myboynoah]

That was some ugly freaking basketball.

Yeah, that was bad. SSU couldn't hit from beyond 3 ft out so we accommodated them. Traveling, bad passes, blah, blah, blah.

But we won! Still on track to take state.

Kolby Lee omg! He makes Luke Worthington look like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

[Green Monstah]

Lee. Honestly, I'm glad he can shoot free throws. That may be his best contribution to this team, although I greatly wish his key contributions were defense and--most significantly--rebounding.


If MVP is gonna do MVP things, I at least like the version where he scores points, pulls down boards, and draws key offensive fouls too.

The way Pope handled Haws and Troy for the last 10 minutes I can only conclude that Pope blamed Haws for #3's continuous layup drill during the first 10 minutes of the 2nd half. I was unaware of Troy even being on the roster until last night. Seems like an OK defender who is a total liability on offense.

But is making 1 of 2 critical free throws too much to ask? Apparently.

I watched the first half of OSU vs Oklahoma. Dastrup has put on at least another 20 pounds of non-muscle. But he was legit contributor, especially on D and the boards. It would be nice to have someone like that on BYU when Yoeli is out. Sadly the camera didn't show if PD is still the main hype-man in Corvallis.

Pope was dealt a bad hand, with Yoeli and the injuries. This season will be ugly. I still like Pope as a hire.

Brutal, man.

The forward will play at BYU following an LDS Church mission.

And at some point, he said, he will have an opportunity to win a game with two free throws for the Cougars. And the outcome then will be different.

"You know," he said, "I'm going to knock those down next time."

Haws picked up his fourth foul with ten minutes left to go in the game, so during the last few minutes Pope traded them in and out for offense and defense to protect Haws from fouling out.

We could lose to Chaminade.

Chaminade is D2. I doubt they're even as good as CS Fullerton. SDSU might be pretty good. SUU is bigger than most teams and more athletic than most of the teams we'll play. Too bad for them that their athletes are mostly really bad shooters. I think the struggle there for BYU was 70% bad matchup and 30% BYU not being good enough. But we still won at least. Supposedly Houston is athletic but not tall.

Brutal, man.

Just an interesting factoid,that Orem team had Nixon and harward and that bountiful team had Sam Merrill and Zac seljass

[SCcoug]

Kolby Lee with the surprising stat line of the game: 10 pts, 6 reb, 4 assists.

He’s had his moments but mostly it’s been good passes to him all alone underneath

[Donuthole]

Welp. Haws can’t make the front end? Game over.
