Introducing ourselves to the WCC thread

[filsdepac]

This is actually a pretty interesting statistic:

Our frontcourt out-scored your frontcourt: 48 - 25

Your backcourt out-scored our backcourt: 52 - 18

Crazy.

We return 100% of our front-court scoring(Dower, Harris, Sacre), while you return just 15% of your back-court scoring based on this game.

Not saying anything, just found it interesting nonetheless.

This is not taking into account the kids on LDS mission or your incoming recruiting class...

Plus, you NEVER shoot this poorly from 3. Right?

This Gonzaga fan is like a Boise State football fan, minus the winning at the highest levels.

Like I said. CougarBoard. This guy didn't even bring a knife to a gunfight. Well maybe a butter knife. Non-serrated type.

Just a reminder our two best front court players were on the bench wearing shirts and ties. The two of them would start over any two players you have. Yet we still blew your ass out.

Do you actually believe this or just saying this b/c of one game? Get real my friend. Robert Sacre & Elias Harris have been considered legitimate NBA prospects, even 1st Rounders. Harris was talked about being a "lottery" pick until his achilles injury this season and Sacre is a legit 7', 265lb Center. Honestly, Gonzaga has had 5 players drafted in the NBA in the las 10 yrs as well, heck we've had 2 Lottery picks (Austin Daye in 2009 at #14, & Adam Morrison in 2006 at #3, Daye starts for the Pistons now, and Turiaf starts for Knicks)

Anyway, our frontcourt starters still scored 18 pts(Harris) and 17 pts(Sacre), respectively. They also combined for 16 rebounds. Our back-up PF(Dower) scored 8 pts on perfect shooting and should have played more minutes.

Believe me the competition and rivalry will be one sided. Sorry but the Zags are similar to our brothers up North. Decent history but haven't done shit lately. BYU will sweep Gonzaga next year and end the reign of the bulldogs. Few will be pissed that he can no longer beat up on the Little Sisters of the Poor and bounce to a bigger program. The Zags will fall back in to mediocrity nobody will remember them and BYU will leave the WCC for the Big 12.

I take offense to this comparison. At least we have accomplished something concrete and memorable in our lifetime.

You sure you want to go there??

Also Turiaf is averaging 13 minutes per game for the Knicks in March. And he's not starting.

:bsflag:

Zags have 13 straight NCAA Tournaments. 5 Sweet 16's. 1 Elite 8. 16 wins in 12 years.

You'll see how hard it is to advance and win games.

What the h*ll has BYU done? 1st Round exits every year and 1 Sweet 16? I guess it starts now, right?

Just wait Rookie...respect your accomplishments along with others.

What does Gonzaga's record of draft busts (past and future) have to do with the fact that our two best bigs didnt play tonight?

[Zagitarios]

The truth of the matter is nobody knows who is going to eat who's shit in the w.c.c. next year. Can we just wait till they play?

Have fun in your first sweet sixteen in over a quarter century.

act like you've been there.

Jarid is a Utah fan, not BYU.

As much as it pains me to say this, Gonzaga couldn't hold Utah's jock in memorable sports wins. Everyone remembers their final Four and two BCS
wins. Who remembers anything about Gonzaga? Evidently not too many, or you wouldn't have to keep reminding us.

Really?

BYU has been to the Tournament 25 times and won a TOTAL of 13 games. The last Sweet 16 was in 1981. Please.

Like I said, Gonzaga has been to the Tournament the last 13 years in a row, won 17 games, 5 Sweet 16's, 1 possession away from Final Four, and have a National Brand outside of the Mountain West & BYUTV.

We were on ESPN more times this season than you have been in last 3 years COMBINED.

Seriously, I hope if any BYU fans post on your board,they will give you the respect you deserve. If you guys came over here though looking for us to kiss your butts for some reason, you have us mixed up with the PR machine at BYU.

Send a note to BYU saying you are interested in having the missionaries visit and you will get a reply kissing your butt.
