    EDIT: KL beat me to it.
    That horrid perimeter shooting is starting to look less like a slump and more like the norm. Were GU's first half turnovers and VT's even worse first half shooting anomalies or norms?

    I hope you and KL are right. I was just relaying what I sensed as I listened to the games. It seemed like for the most part, after we had missed a shot or turned the ball over, we were happily bailed out by a VT missed shot or GU turnover.
    Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

    For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

    Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

      Well, even if it is that's not very looooong ago.
      "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

        Criticizing BYU misses and not recognizing BYU's defense is a BYU fan Jedi mind trick. It won't work. These are the droids I'm looking for.

          I hope that BYU get's its 3 point groove on at the conference tourney. I think that would bring us a lot closer to the Gaels.

          Mea culpa.

          I just watched the game replay on BYUtv (thank you HD Truck) for the first time. Big difference between listening and watching. While GU's turnovers helped, we played very good D and I like how we adjusted and won, despite our horrid perimeter shooting.

          I have hope again.

            That's funny. I wake up at 5-6am here, which is 12-1am in the UT.

            Desnews had 88-73 in their first draft game recap and had to correct it.
