The Official Brigham Young University against Jerry Rice's Alma Mater thread

[Surfah]

Looks like Abouo hasn't been living right.

He's playing lazy. And getting zero lift off the floor. I wonder if he's miffed that KC is taking his minutes.

[Surfah]

Martineau reminds me of Ollie from Hoosiers.

Davies with 13 and 10 in 18 minutes.

ANderson with 9 and 5 and Noah with 12 and 6.

I know its Miss. Valley St. but that is hte production we need from our bigs.

BYU's clock is running out of time playing like crap on offense. Ball movement sucks, screens suck, shooting sucks, shot selection at times has sucked; particularly continuing to settle for longer shots when they can't hit the broad side of the barn.

The fact that they've won their last two games by 50 ppg is a testament to the indescribable piss-awfulness of their opposition.

I agree. I haven't been impressed at all the last couple of games. That doesn't mean I have lost confidence in this team, as I think they will get better against better competition, but if they keep playing like they have, they will lose about 10 games on their schedule.

You don't think beating awful teams by 50 is sufficient?

I think what they are doing offensively is not going to be sufficient when they actually play someone worth a lick. Don't misconstrue my comments as saying BYU won't get things straightened out, but if they don't it will be a rude awakening.

yep. I have not been impressed with our offense thus far. I am hoping that the sloppiness which attends 50 point blowouts is mostly to blame.

[Commando]

I thought they looked sharp enough vs. Chicago State. Most of that game was garbage time and the bigs dominated.

Is Utah St. not worth a lick?

So, he predicts 2 losses and a record of 25-4.. nice.

Vs USU: 39% FG shooting, 27% from 3. 24 made field goals and 23 made free throws

Thank God we got to the line that game. It also helped that it was a home game.

I know this was directed at Indy but I will give my own answer.

USU is a good team. I wasn't impressed with our offense in that game though. I was happy that we could get the win despite being ugly on offense but if we play that way on the road against a good team I don't expect we will win.

I dig KenPom's stats. I check them with Sagarin regularly. Last year Jimmer was the number one offensive player in the country according to his stats.

Also, if you check out his blog, he has a pretty cool analysis of BYU and USU, but specifically the impact of Wesley's controversial foul and his FT shooting.
