Although I should not be disappointed
I am, in that I thought this team might have been something to do something. It appears, when we face top flight competition, we just don't have the athletes to get it done. I'd rather play these games than not play them, but just once I'd like to see us have the athletes to win most of them. It will be a good season, just not a great season. And BYU may never have a great basketball season, sadly.

It's a disappointing loss, but this is a good team (BYU).
They beat #6 Louisville. That's something. They've played UNC and MSU very tough. We are tourney-bound for sure, and I think we win once or twice in the tourney this time. We are only going to get better with the youth on this team as well. |

Get ready for "Miles in the Middle." The thought of it doesn't give me warm fuzzies. We will have some shooters, no athletes and your usual fare of doing fine in conference but getting our lunches handed to us when we meet up with real teams. At least in football, you know we will win some of these and with Bronco you get the feeling the once a decade miracle is a possibility. With the basketball team, the once a decade miracle means one measly Tourney win.

BYU beat by a better, tougher team.
Lee HAS to stay out of foul trouble. Murdock HAS to step up. He had a terrible first half, a decent second half. Tavernari was completely taken out of the game by the MSU defense. Burgess, I would like to be more aggressive. I think he has more than we've seen. BYU has to be better at the 1 and 2 to really contend for anything significant. |

I didn't realize this game was in Utah. BYU really needed this one to prove it was for real. Moral victories only take you so far. By the way, unranked Dayton won at Louisville tonight.

Overall a bummer of a weekend.
The lady vollers get whacked by Number 1 Penn State and the men's ballers blow a chance to make a statement. But face it, our back court just isn't cut out for big time play. And when will we have both at the same time? Perhaps I should just not watch basketball as it is impossible to camouflage a lack of athleticism in basketball.
