PrintSt. Mary's, Calif. Gaels at BYU Cougars, Jan 28, 2012 6:00 PM PST
It's time! The Marriott Center is packed to the brim, and it's revenge time. Sounds like Stephen Rogers may get a few minutes tonight, and that Dave Rose plans to mix up defenses a bit more in an effort to keep the Gaels at bay. Join the discussion!

BOOOO
Cougar faithful throwing trash is the first scene I see when I turn the game on. Should I be concerned?
If they keep this up, Saint Mary won't beat us.
Our fans would have beaten us.

Yeah they are the legit team this year from the WCC.
BYU just needs to accept they are the #2 team this year and beat down Zaga to prove it. Get a full head of steam and hope to get St. Mary in the conference tourny and beat them then.
Just makes me mad that we can’t run with a team that lost to Denver and got blown out by Baylor (yeah same Baylor we almost took down).

From the few minutes I watched in the first half
BYU is rushing it. They need to settle down. I know on the steal, Davies should of reset the entire play unless he had a quick option to pass it out. Here is hoping that they come out and play the game their way.
I don't want to be negative but it ain't looking pretty.
We are down by 23. We are starting to play better defense (perimeter defense is something to be desired right now). But since after the San Diego game we have shot .080 (LMU), .182 (Pepp), and .208 (VT) from behind the arc. Right now we are shooting .125
Unless our defense decides to show up and shut them down for a while, we either need to get back to shooting threes like they are free throws or abuse the paint to get three point plays.
So I haven't been too big into BYU basketball like I have football
But do they have any history of amazing comebacks like the football team?
What the heck are we doing out there?!?!?!?!?!
SO out of sync and just not hitting shots at all! I’m tired of guys out there looking like a putz! Carlino and Abouo are sending me thru the roof tonight!
Abouo, at least, is not feeling well.
And really, I think St. Mary’s is just flat better. BYU not playing well, but would be tough to beat them either way, I think.
I agree they are better but where's the heart???
There is no reason why we should be down this much. We are making way to many stupid errors. And the refs are treating St. Mary’s like they’re a team full of Kobe Bryants!
Abouo has been pretty crappy this year even when he’s healthy. Not sure why we have him in there when he’s sick?

The refs have made bad calls both ways.
And I generally don’t like questioning “heart.” I haven’t seen them giving up or not playing hard. Doesn’t mean they’re playing well.
And they’ve already cut the lead down. I’d say that’s some “heart”.
How about having two Gaels down the court without a Cougar within 20 feet?

Not every bad play is due to lack of "heart".
I’m just never going to be one questioning something we can’t see.
Your opinion
But heart is one of the biggest tools in the game, something you can’t teach but very much visible (see Tim Tebow). Right now I see a couple of guys out there who are getting caught on their heels and not showing they want back in this.

I never said "heart" doesn't exist.
I just mean fans way too often equate bad play to lack of heart, when it’s not always the case.
Team is getting hot. Crowd is getting hot.
Just need some defense.
I love me some Noah
Everybody talks about how it was going to be Davie’s team. Its really Noah’s.
Just thinking the same thing
Although Austin has a lot of potential. I’d like to see one of our guards take some pride and protect the basket. Cusick has done a pretty good job tonight.
by vaughnzipper on Jan 28, 2012 7:49 PM PST up reply actions
I hope that gets Davies angry
And he now just goes off.
He's missed a few down low this half
We need him to really get aggressive and force their bigs into some fouls.
by vaughnzipper on Jan 28, 2012 7:51 PM PST up reply actions
These refs are incredibly touchy calling BYU on offensive fouls
Of course from the BYU perspective it seems that way :)
I wonder how the two St. Mary's games would be different with Rodgers.
He was out for the first one, right? And he’s played a bit tonight, but certainly not 100%.
Has BYU played Gonzaga at all yet? I guess not.
I’m used to the MWC schedule where the same order of teams just happens twice, reversing home/away the 2nd time through.
Nope next game is home against them.
Late Feb is the away game. We still haven’t played Portland either.

I think if we can sweep Zaga and have a great showing in the tourny we could get in
Even if we just lose in the finals, that should be enough. A win over Baylor would be the crown jewel to our resume, but alas it wasn’t for us.

I think we could do some terror in that tournament
But nobody wants in that tournament.
by king.nothing on Jan 28, 2012 8:12 PM PST up reply actions
Still better than nothing, and the extra games would help the team, I think.
My other college team got snubbed last year and ended up in the NIT. It stunk, but you still want to do well.
Well if WCC tourny started today
We be the #3 seed and play the winner of the San Diego/Portland game.
Well, hopefully we can do better against Gonzaga. Don't think they're as good as St. Mary's, so I think we will.
And with that, I think I’m going to go out and get some In-n-Out.
Also, students need to man up.
Don’t act like total idiots next time BYU loses at home, please.
