    BYU-Fresno State Observations

    - Way too many turnovers. I think about double our average. They pressed most of the game and it really hurt us.
    - Miles and Hartsock did a great job on the boards, combining for 19 boards. Even more impressive when you realize that Fresno State has very big, athletic front line.
    - Jimmer had his first good shooting night in a while, and Emery had his first bad shooting night in a while -- I believe he was 1-8. He seemed to rush a lot of his shots.
    - Tyler Haws had another really nice night, scoring 17 points for the second consecutive game. He also led the team in minutes. Impressive for a freshman
    - JT was alright. His shot selection was a lot better, even though he didn't shoot for a great percentage.
    - Davies didn't get many minutes. He looked like he was having a hard time hanging with Fresno's bigger front line. He's going to need to hit the weight room during the off season.
    - Overall, a pretty sloppy game, but it's a win on the road and there's no such thing as a bad road win.

      Thanks for your comments. I didnt see the game.
      I'm glad the team is learning how to win despite.

          Some of Emery's shots were way off.
          Fresno's frontline has some serious talent. I don't think Cleveland knows how to use them.
          The Bulldog Sports Network is awful. I'm glad the color guy could complain about Byu's missionary advantage.

              I liked that the announcer's audio didn't work for long stretches of the game. It was fun watching the game on TV and having the feel of being there live. After that experience, I think I could do without play by play more often.

                      That was awesome as well. It took me a few minutes of watching to figure out what was different. Did anyone else have the same expereince or was it just on my local carrier's feed?

                          No it was for everyone. The first 10 minutes was fantastic, like you said, just like being there. I also laughed at the diatribe he went on about BYU's advantage that has lead to so many Basketball National Championships.
