2010-11 BYU Basketball Thread

3, 10, 13 = realtimerpi's rpi of BYU SDSU and UNLV. Are you kidding me? This conference is so tough this year. UNM will be brutal once they get their entire squad on the floor. It is time to start looking at the MWC as a 4 team league again. If UNM can hold its home floor against any of the big 3 they deserve to get a look. If they can hold against two or three, they deserve a decent seed. I've just decided to go down for the conference tournament. The hoops will be sick.

Don't completely sleep on CSU. Travis Franklin is legit. CSU may play spoiler to the hoops dreams of top 5 seeds if the big dogs are not careful. The MWC is as good as it has ever been this season.

I agree. Franklin can do some things. Honestly, every team in the league has at least one decent player ... maybe not Wyo. I haven't watched them this year.

Why is BYU playing Fresno Pacific? Is there some connection there?

BYU has scheduled crappers in December almost every year. Western Oregon (three times), Eastern New Mexico, Fort Lewis, Northern Kentucky.....

Jimmer made the "Who's Next In Basketball" list of ESPN the Magazine with Kyrie Irving, Branding Knight, Jared Sullinger, and Kemba Walker. Pretty awesome.

Wyoming is killing the average rpi of the conference. Outside of Wyoming, the rpis entering conference play are excellent. BYU, SDSU, UNLV, UNM and even CSU are well positioned at this point to have good post season prospects. Unfortunately, UNM dropped a couple key games at the end of the non-conference slate. They'll want that Dayton game back come February and March.

Chris Collinsworth misses practice with a knee injury. Dave Rose sounded concerned about the seriousness of it.

Yikes.

A little scrimmage just prior to conference.

Reward the benchwarmers with a little more PT before their minutes shrink as the rotation tightens.

And I don't know when this game was put in the schedule, but it worked out nicely coming just two days after another east-coast road trip and as a tune-up for conference play.

UNLV, you are not our rivals. :finger3:

[TripletDaddy]

Heads up....there are still decent tickets (sideline chairs uppers) on BYU's website for the Utah game. I think I'm going to buy a block this morning just in case I don't come across something better. That game will be a fun one with lots of acrimony.

That said, I would like Dave Rose to go 1-8 in the T&M with a victory tomorrow night. Go Rose! The first win is the hardest!

I would love a win because UNLV is a good team but a loss won't make me irritated. That said, I always would prefer a win at the Huntsman Center over one at the T&M.

This year, that's a little like saying in football I'd rather have a win over Utah State than beat TCU. IOW, there's no way we lose to Utah.
