BYU Basketball 25-26: The AJ Season

[Joe Public]

I like the concept, but the execution has been terrible. The ticket prices are too high for an exhibition game or a 2pm weekday game. The Cal Baptist standalone prices are reasonable, but it’s on a Wednesday and doesn’t have the opponent gravity of UNC or Wisconsin.

These games could have been a huge draw for an out-of-stater like me who doesn’t purchase season tickets. The Las Vegas game was packed with BYU fans. I was 11 rows from the floor at the Las Vegas game, got to see FLA/AZ in addition to the BYU game, and I paid less than I would pay for higher seats to the BYU/WISC game. If the CBU game were on a Saturday, I would be taking my family of six.

Keita is back!!

It feels like we are not nearly as good a rebounding team this year as we have been in recent seasons.

Wisconsin is pretty tall. But I like the defense and energy and active hands right now from BYU.

Yeah we have to get on the glass on long rebounds against a team that shoots as many threes as Wisconsin does.

I'm not trying to be mean but Mrus can return to Idaho now if he'd like.

Why is this game on in the middle of the day.

[SteelBlue]

AJ is so smooth. His game is just beautiful.

[BigFatMeanie]

Mboup biting on pump fakes is pretty irritating. Keita does it quite a bit as well. Much athleticism, not as much hoops savvy.

[Donuthole]

Should easily be up 20 points but we are getting out hustled.

Yep given up 5 offensive boards but it feel like more.

Feels like 20.

EDIT: Make it 21

[Joe Public]

Solid first half overall. If they clean a few things up, they should win handily.

[BigFatMeanie]

Frankly, I would have called that 4th foul on AJ too... Not sure about the 3rd, but the 4th foul was definitely a foul.

[byufan4ever]

That charging call on AJ was very fair. Now we gotta find some scoring with him on the bench.
