BYU vs Air Force

[Indy Coug]

that page is confusing me.

Does it show where BYU ranks nationally in each category?

Also, it shows us winning out our remaining games....and somehow finishing with a final record of 29-3. I should have paid more attention in Dr Beus's class.

Here's our shooting percentage by type and national ranking in brackets.

3P%: 41.3 [11]
2P%: 54.7 [10]
FT%: 78.5 [1]

also, why doesn't the schedule show BYU's first two games: Central Washington and Trinity?

Central Washington and Trinity were exhibition games and don't count.

BYU is 3rd in FG%

ok, thanks.

So does that other page show BYU ranked 10th overall in 2PT? Am I reading it correctly? thanks again.

They add up probabilities. So if we have a 90% chance to win each of the next 10 games, each game as an individual event is a win, but cumulatively there is one loss.

When I had mono, I spent the first 3 or 4 weeks doing nothing other than sleeping all day long, getting up (someones only once a day) to eat sparingly and then go back to sleep. I lost a bunch of weight. When I first came down with it, I was at work and feeling really crappy. I went home sick that afternoon and went to bed. I woke up to find my sister standing there telling me that it was time to get up. It was the NEXT day at dinner time. I didn't fully recover for months.

I think the whole reason they played Jimmer is that mono is a very relative virus. The severity of the symptoms and its impact can vary drastically. Rose has been very clear that the reason Jimmer played yesterday for 18 minutes was so that Jimmer and the medical staff could properly evaluate where Jimmer is in his recovery. If Jimmer is not absolutely annhilated by yesterday's game then all involved know that Jimmer is over the virus and it is only the recovery of weight and strength that is ahead. However, if the exertion of playing 18 minutes has Jimmer, in the immortal words of Smoke-AY from the Cinematic Classic "Friday" "knocked the f^%! out!" then Jimmer is not yet over the virus. That is why he played the amount he played yesterday. Going into the game his improved condition on Monday and Tuesday of this week had provided enough hope and indicators that he was in fact into the recovery stage so the medical and coaching staffs chose to give it the final test.

Keep your fingers crossed Cougar fans and Utenation can bring out the jelly!

BYU is 11th in 3pt%, 10th in 2pt% and 3rd in 3pt and 2pt% combined. BYU is 5th in effective FG% where the shooting percentage is weighted by the number of 2pt makes and 3pt makes.

#1 in scoring offense as well.

Does anyone have a screen capture of the Davies shot block last night?

That thing was sick.

Two things I liked about it:

1. Most big men, especially Freshman, tend to either foul someone pretty badly or miss the block entirely. He obviously didn't.

2. The AFA player had speed and the upperhand on the play. Davies was in control on the play of his own self. He put his body in the correct position to not create a body contact foul. The shorter faster player had no chance to initiate contact. And secondly, he controlled his upper body and absolutely stuffed that kid.

I enjoyed seeing him keep his composure after that type of block. His team was jacked up for him. He is going to play his way into more minutes with efforts like this.

Oh yeah...his FT shooting last night was fantastic also.

It was a thing of beauty. Followed by a nice transition bucket by Haws on the other end. It got lots of replay on my DVR.

I tell ya, it's the unfair advantage the LDS church has with having basketball courts in their houses of worship.

Anbody else see MTN HD "launches" 3/10? Think it'll be a permanent move after the tournament or will revert back when football starts?

Good for JT. Looks like the last remaining wheel has come off the AF bus.
