Aggie Tears are the ultimate palate cleanser: BYU vs. Utah State

[BigPiney]

Not much mention of it here, but I really like Yoeli and the progress he has been making. Dude cleans up around the rim and scores some points too. He helped out a ton last night. He should be getting more love.

Totally agree. I seem to remember reading that some were down on him because of his attitude and possibly not being coachable. Part of the reason the utes didn't even offer. Blah blah blah.

He has been a welcome surprise. Plays with a lot of heart.

Re: Haws- he seems like he is too ahead of the team right now. He makes quick passes that the receivers don't expect, he makes the extra pass that no one expects, that's why it looks like he is out playing by himself. But after they get used to him, they should be gelling around March Madness. At least, that's my hope.



The only thing good about the UVU game is that we will soon have that coach. That's what I am telling myself.

You mean when Dave Rose leaves/retires? Cause we had that coach once already.

I've always liked the Pope.

Also, where is Rice kicking it these days?

Didn't realize he was LDS. Looked him up. I guess he is. I also never knew Lynn Archibald was his father in law.

Fans are dumb.

yup, especially those who post a lot on that other site.

Yeah this has been worrying. LJ Rose supposedly shot 40% before BYU. At least he finally hit a couple last night, but he has struggled from 3 until now. Guinn went 0-5 and Haws 0-4 from 3 last night. I really miss Seljass right now. Emery is shooting 40% for the season even though he had a bad night last night. Really hope these guys can get their outside shots right and soon.

LOL. That 40% he shot last year? He was 2-5.

LJ is not a good shooter, he is great at a lot of other things, but shooting is not one of them. Teams will sag off him all year long. His career average from the floor is 36% from 3 it is 33%. He is a black Matt Montague.

a bit taller and a bit better rebounder (this year) but similar.

Yes if only there was a way to duplicate the magic he created by making his players play out of their minds almost as though they had something to prove... dunno.

Pretty sure only utes were saying that. It must be their PR strategy to explain why coach Krystomaniac totally missed the boat on him. I've only heard the opposite about him from BYU people.

I love his fire. That's what i like to see. I notice that Mika has it too, but is able to keep his composure a bit better.

Do you think after the team gets used to Haws he'll end up making the layup off the behind-the-back with a spin move or that he'll still brick it?

I will cop to relaying the Bingham High gossip about Yoeli's attitude and coachability and will also say that he has exceeded my expectations except for the first exhibition game where he had 5 fouls in 9 minutes and 1 rebound. Since then, he's steadily improved and when he plus the other 4 starters are on the floor it's my favorite lineup (yeah, he started last night because Davis was hurt).

Yoeli, I apologize for gossiping about you.

I just fessed up to it, and I'm no Ute.

Yes. And once the basket gets used to his shot, he will stop shooting airballs on his long threes.
