Aren't we playing Texas in a couple hours?

One noticeable improvement from the Iowa State game to this one was BYU's free throw shooting %. They made 71% of their FTs last night compared to 60% vs. ISU. Shooting 70% from the charity stripe against Iowa State would have given us two more points off of FTs, the difference for the game. As it stands right now BYU is making 67% of its FTs. I think we need to get it above 70% if we want to have a hope of winning the close ones we'll be in this year.

It's about getting the right guys at the line late. For BYU, that really only means Haws and Carlino, but both of them got to the stripe late in the game last night. That's how you tend to win tight games. When Mika, Collinsworth, and Bartley are taking the majority of your foul shots, you're going to be a poor FT shooting team. And while we're on this topic, allow me to vent another basketball pet peeve of mine. Equally as frustrating as big guys who play really small are guards who can't shoot 70% from the line. For as good a stroke as Bartley has, it's unacceptable for him to clank that many big freebies. I know the kid is a true freshman, but this is all repetition and concentration. Our best two players at getting to the bucket are pretty lousy FT shooters (Collinsworth and Bartley).

Fun game to watch. Their coach mentioned older players. I guess that comes out of their mouths with BYU without them even thinking. Starting five only one guy would be beyond a Sr. in age and he could have red shirted. Maybe two if Austin is a Jr. this year.

Somebody ought to let the world know that the only times we have reached the Sweet 16 we have had mostly non RM's starting.

Can someone explain why Barney Wrubell keeps talking about how great this team will be next year. Sure they will be a year older, but our glaring weakness is big men and the best one won't be there.

I replayed that fake pass Haws threw to confuse Ridley about 5 times. It was awesome because Ridley was so misdirected that he didn't know what was going on until after the ball dropped through the hoop. His team started transitioning to offense before he realized what had happened. And then the announcers said something like "Awww, a guard has no right doing that to the big fella." Like candy from a baby.

That's the patented TJ Haws move! :rockon2: Davies has used that to great advantage, as well.

Lone Peak has had more national TV games than Utah the last 2 years.

Anywhere to watch highlights of the game? I was stuck in a deposition, following gamecast on my phone, until the last couple minutes.

I did watch a LP highlight reel. I came away impressed. He looks like a darling little red kitten, but this kitten has claws on the court!

Topper's comments in this thread ARE the highlights...

Thx. With the game on the U, I knew there had to be something, but I hadn't been able to find them.

I hate those kind of highlights. The announcer talks about how the game is back and forth like 20 times, yet the first 20 highlights are of Texas. Based on the video, Haws was the only dude for BYU that did anything. What about Carlino's 4 straight 3s? And Bartley's 3s?

I have had an account there for a while but hadn't used it yet. I wanted to use the quote feature to copy a post but it wouldn't let me because I wasn't logged in. So I decided to go ahead and make that initial post to break the ice.

Do you post there?

Looks like you need to frantically up your post count so we can get you graduated to "asshat" status.
