And then you have that great front line of Sabonis and Wiltjer, with W stretching the floor.
Utah looked completely befuddled. And Poetl looked hapless. Just last week Simmons was speculating that someone like Poetl could go off in the tournament and a team could fall in love with a player like him and take him ahead of Simmons. Poetl may have just played himself out of the lottery. He lost a ton of money last night.
And Coach 80k looked like an imbecile in a suit. I hope he takes a job elsewhere, sick of his mug. He doesn't belong in the state of Utah. They need someone who gives a sh*t about something besides himself.

It was wonderful to behold. And I thought to myself, BYU beat this team and could have won one of the two it lost. Utah had no possibility of competing with Gonzaga.
