BYU's loss to Boise
took all the enthusiasm I had for this bball team. To lose to such a lowly lowlife kinda sucks.
I'm doubtful they defeat Wake Forest and we will lose a few on the road in conference. It appears to be another One and Done in the NCAAs. Please show me an argument I am in error. How does a team blow an eleven point lead to the schmucks a Boise?

I'm with you. Tavernari's unpunished behavior and the BSU loss, all the same time, killed my interest.

A lot of unearned arrogance here. Your program is schmuck. Always has been and always will be.

Every year there's a couple of games you lose that you should win, and a couple of games you win that you should lose. That's basketball. You need to learn to just enjoy the sport.

Agreed. For me, sports is all about the competition. Sure, it's more fun to win, but the best part is always the actual sport itself, rather than the outcome of the event.

Wake me up when we win one we should lose.

I'm still on board, but that BSU loss was a killer. If that's the only stupid loss we have all year it'll still be a big improvement. A few in the conference have pretty good RPIs, as does wake forest, so if we go on a run here we'll be back in the top 25 in no time at all and in good shape for an upper-bracket seed.
