BYU Basketball 24-25-Bring out the Jelly!

[Omaha 680]

A thoroughly entertaining game from start to finish. Someone on CB confirmed my suspicions that BYU's starters were all negative on the +/-, meaning that the bench won the game for us fairly handily. This is the deepest, or at least the most balanced, BYU team I've ever experienced. And what a remarkable arc from being 1-3 in conference. I sense KY knows how to coach (and is rapidly picking up the nuances of the college game).

18-36 from 3P. 18-21 from FT. That's how you beat a top 10 team that shoots 56% against you and has a player that goes off for 30 points. Also only 9 turnovers for BYU.

I agree KY is great and appears to be getting better. I'm so impressed with his responses in the post game pressers. He always has a stat sheet he is referring to justifying his answers. Coming from the pro game he is probably ahead of the curve on analytics compared to his average collect peers. He told a story today about when he was an assistant with the 76ers in the infancy of analytics and his GM showed him a heat map of a million NBA 3 pointers and it became KY's responsibility to figure out how to get the shots at the hot areas. He implied he has carried that into coaching BYU and it's not just about jacking up 3 pointers in volume it's about getting the ball to the best spots in best way to set up the shooter for a score. It's really remarkable to watch.

Also 24 assists on 30 made FG is a point KY made. That's incredible. This team is deeper than any we have ever had and is extremely unselfish. There is obviously no player on this team as dominant as Jimmer his senior year but I think this team is built for a deeper run and being tested by Big 12 play will help that.

love seeing Dave Rose in the stands cheering on the team.

He'd better cheer for the LORD'S Cougars tomorrow.

Let's wait for byufan4ever before we come to any rash conclusions here

Thoughts and prayers at this trying time.

I don't like the early returns with the Kevin Young hire. BYU basketball is a huge disappointment.

Thoughts and prayers at this trying time.

We put it up on the double big screen TVs in the executive conference room and even our VP came in to watch.

[Green Monstah]

I suppose Jimmer's senior year there was a run like this, but in the last 14 years, nothing really compares to what this team has done the last seven weeks.
