BYU Basketball 25-26: The AJ Season

[Goatnapper'96]

I feel fortunate I am old enough to have watched those Danny Ainge teams as a kid. Good times. The one who married Marie Osmond was Steve Craig. According to Wikipedia they divorced in 1985 but remarried in 2011 and apparently are still together, so maybe it eventually worked out.

My daughter used missing the AJ Dybantsa one and done season of BYU basketball in her farewell talk as an example of sacrifice.

KY helps us all to go deep!

I am here today to remind you that BYU is returning two all Big 12 players, an all OVC caliber player, perhaps the most athletic 5 in college basketball and joining them is the best 18 year old basketball player in the world.

TBH, not sure we would need the KY to go deep, but he is truly the lubricator!

I love you, Goatnapper.

I watched the FIBA U19 USA vs Canada game. Dybantsa was the best player on the floor. I don't think he sat the entire game, he is a defensive menace and he willingly took over at the end to help seal the victory—if he wasn't as aggressive as he was and didn't take over, Canada wins that game.

I was impressed. I've watched some of the other games which were blowouts. He let others shine in those games, but in this one when it countered, he stood out from the start. I'm also impressed with his passing and trying to get others involved in the game. Let's just get him out of this in one piece.

Also, he has a pretty flat FT stroke. Weird.

My tickets are way worse than last year. Demand is off the charts.

Tickets are sold out. That is amazing.

I have been Cougar Club Silver for a while. Upgraded to Gold this year to preserve my access to basketball tickets. I selected my seats yesterday and I am in the upper bowl, row 6, middle of a row. The way things are going, I felt a huge relief to get those. Had I not upgraded, I may not have gotten any (Silver started selecting today and they are gone).

My seats the last few years were at a similar row and angle, but over in the section with seats and on the aisle. So I got a downgrade, but just happy to get seats.

I am upgrading to Legacy now. Should have done that 2 months ago (I am an idiot). One time $10K fee but tax deductible and my annual fee going forward would be not too far from what I am paying now. Furthermore, once you are in legacy your lifetime contributions are added up so I will actually be in Legacy 2. Who knows, that might be the cutoff next year.

My mom moved over 3 sections and up 4 rows but still got seats. I can't wait to come out for some games.

Also, we are going to the vegas game. I just got my flight sorted out last night.

Nice. I’ll know this weekend whether I’m going. Did you get tickets through the arena site or off the secondary market?

Your story is almost the same as mine except for the upgrading to Legacy part. I am Gold now but when I selected late yesterday afternoon I got 4 tickets upper bowl bleachers about row 11. Same as you im just happy to be in the building this year. I was going to go with BP's mom again because she selected on Friday but she had a Silver friend who needed the tickets and I was able to find acceptable seats in my timeslot. Last year her seats were basically mid court upper bowl chars row 10ish. Like BP said she is now row 17 closer to the corner and that's after upgrading to Legacy I.

Maybe Legacy II will get you some decent seats next year. This year lower bowl sold out to Legacy III, but its hard to imagine the hype will be the same or greater next year. But I'd be happy to be wrong and end up going to the final four and signing some more future first round draft picks!

Arena site during the presale to the schools. So we got the tickets a while ago, just now getting the flights. I have to be in Sacramento the next day, and it is only $50 for a flight there.

I got pretty good seats for basketball. In fact my basketball seats are better than for football because basketball doesn't have the Stadium Donor problem that football has.
