From his chat wrap:
But my favorite question and answer was this gem:
Ouch.
Todd (Boise, ID)
How good are the BYU Cougars really? Does Fredette have any shot at All-American honors?
Pat Forde
Todd: I think the Cougars are quite good, although that's based largely on statistics and box scores because I haven't seen much out of them on TV. Great offensive team, very tough at home. As for Fredette: he has a shot at being an A-A, but it'll be an uphill climb most likely. But he's very good.

Is Jimmer Freddette one of the craziest awesome names you have heard of in college basketball?
Pat Forde
Brent: He is the only Jimmer I have ever heard of. But he's got a ways to go to catch up with James Chiefkickingstallionsims from last year.

Kristi (New Mexico)
Pat everyone is saying BYU wed night at the Pit...really? what do you think?
Pat Forde
Kristi: Tough, tough place to win. But, yeah, I'm taking BYU in a squeaker.

Jacob (Provo, UT)
What are Coach Dave Rose's chances for coach of the year?
Pat Forde
Jacob: Very good -- if they gave out the award in January. But he's on the list, definitely, along with Jim Boeheim and John Calipari and Mark Few and Bo Ryan and Frank Martin...

Jake (Washington)
Who is better Gonzaga or BYU? Probably the best in the West since down this year.
Pat Forde
Jake: That is definitely the best-in-the-west debate, those two teams. I don't know who is better, but BYU has had a (slightly) more impressive run so far.

Nate (Carbondale)
Pat, SIU is my school but the Illini are my team. Any thoughts on their chance of making the tourney? They're a team that looks good one half of a game and horrible the next or first depending on the game. ( Could say the same about both.)
Pat Forde
Nate: I'd say Illinois is up against it as well. Had some good early wins against Clemson and Vandy, but also lost to Utah, Georgia and Bradley. Current 3-game losing streak has Weber questioning his team's leadership -- and has fans questioning Weber. I think it will go down to the wire for the 'Ni.
