Coaches #10, AP #11 BYU Cougars against unranked, last place Utah Utes (in Salt Lake)

In a game that was stuffed with Fredette highlights, my favorite bit came after he nailed the first half-ending three. Lesser players would have exulted or chest thumped. Fredette was genuinely nonchalant as he ambled off the court.

It's obvious that he's respected, and begrudgingly admired, by his opponents. He deserves it.

Yes. That was perfect. Ho-hum. I just hit a half-court shot.

A season for the ages. So many great moments.

I'm wondering what the reactions will be from BYus global fan base? Any buzz yet in Nippon?

You may want to wait and see how it ends up before assigniong it to the ages. Just a serious suggestion from a concerned rival.

Hey I really appreciate your concern. But I am confident that I will always have a happy memory of Jimmer dropping 47 pts in the HC.

When did the Marriot Center become not a dump? It was a grotesque barn when it was new. Does it still have all those fugly bleachers?

Honestly, both arenas are much better than the average college B-Ball venue, but I'm enjoying the pissing contest. It's funny that your strongest argument is apparently based on furniture.

Listen up, if Utah and BYU were publically traded companies, Utah would be a buy right now and BYU would be a sell.

There may be some truth to this, but if one continues the analogy, one has to note that Utah is currently trading in the pink sheets, and with very low volume. But if this provides you with healing balm, so be it.

You be the judge.

Translation:

Honorable Mr. Jimmer
Number one basketball player
He skillfully throws the ball through the ring
His parents are honored
Mountain Lions
Mountain Lions
We will prevail!

I realize this wouldn't get American fans all worked up, but this is really the bomb here among Japanese Cougar Fans. It's also got Japanese Ute Fans pretty upset. Especially the part about Jimmer's parents being honored. Real crazy stuff.

One of the ute players has already predicted a ute win at the Marriott center later this season.

I otoh am looking forward to putting even more distance between BYU and Utah in the all time win column.

Great night for BYU hoops. Jimmer scores his second highest total in his career, Jackson becomes the all time BYU steals leader by playing lock down defense, and BYU becomes the unquestioned all time winner in the basketball rivalry.

Also, ESPN now using the expression "The Jimmer Show." Where did that originate? I'm sure I heard before now. Could be some copyright infringement there.

He probably heard about Utah stock being such a bargain right now and got all fired up.

This thread is getting pretty all-time classic.
