BYU drops to 14 in AP and 15 in coaches

Really? Don't fall into the trap, Blueintheface. Don't do it just because it's rivalry week. It is possible to accept the fact that Utah was the co-conference champ last year.

Fixed

I am now wishing GU to fall far enough that the seeding will be BYU-GU in round one, a "the NCAA giveth and taketh away" seeding like Utah got last year agaisnt a talented UA team.

You mean a UA team that did not deserve to make the NCAA tournament? A team that had the worst resume' ever for an at-large team.

A talented UA team? You must be joking. They were the worst at large team invited last year. Literally the last team in. Snapshots in time...SU's vision of Ute athletics.

I would love for a BYU/Georgetown matchup in the first round. Miles could use the rest in the first round.

Yet that worst team invited advanced farther than the BYU.

If only your team had drawn the U in the tournament, eh?

Come on. You're all falling over yourselves trying to find something to bouy you up this season. It's a hollow victory to revel in BYU's shortcomings amidst your own soon-to-be 15-loss season. We as Cougar basketball fans know this all too well. Bide your time. Success will come again soon.

I've no problem admitting that the Utes are not a good team this year. I'm just having a bit of fun with the post season futility of the BYU.

Its on ESPNs front page right now, 2 days later!

Georgetown losing to another mediocre opponent did not make the front page either, ESPN must expect that by now.

It's on page 1 because Alford called a Samba lover an asshole. That's the story ESPN picks up on.

The game between two top 15 teams was an afterthought I'm sure. Even ESPN has to acknowledge an important game that doesn't happen to appear on their network.

It's hard to tell how a team reacts to a loss like BYU's loss to New Mexico. BYU has been flying high a lot on emotion and chemistry. It has been the darling of the media. It was an eight point favorite against New Mexico. Now all of a sudden it's not going to win the conference; New Mexico is in the spotlight and BYU has something to prove.

Shades of "Quest for Perfection." The MWC tournament will tell a lot.

Except that Rose never put out T-shirts with that asinine slogan. I do see the resemblance though, but I think Rose has a different group than Bronco had that year. These guys have bounced back from losses this year very well and I suspect that despite the venue they will bounce back fine on Wednesday and again in Vegas. We shall see, however.

Georgetown losing by 20 points at the half. You will get your wish that the hoyas continue to fall in the rankings.

monroe vs. Miles. lol

[Viking]

byu is sadly over-rated. should be a 7-seed. i expect another quick exit from the tourney.

[TripletDaddy]

I predict Georgetown will lose by double digits. It may be time for Hoya Paranoia.

Sorry, just being honest!

Georgetown loses by 13 points. I was apparently the only one brave enough to stand up to SeattleUte with such a brutally honest prediction about this Georgetown squad.

Commence Hoya Paranoia.
