I was thinking about Rose's coaching moves late in the game. How cool is it to have a true freshman that can play such an important role (the big ball handler and cool free throw shooter)? Seriously, how many kids could come in straight out of high school and have that kind of coolness to take on that role when the game is on the line (esp. when the rest of the team seemed to be losing a little composure at the line-- a lot of ugly clank shots)? I don't think they come around that often.

Props to Rose for his coaching and JT for his mental toughness.

Oden and Durrant, to name two.

Devin Durrant or his son or some nephew or cousin twice removed? Devin Durrant was BYU's greatest wing player, and perhaps its greatest freshman. The mission hobbled him for good though he still led the nation in scoring on a so-so BYU team. BTW, he was the one who started this mission fad among star DI Mormon athletes. Credit your two big stars for fighting through it. Is this Brazilian kid going on one?

The 80's was a great decade, but you really need to come out of it if you want to talk college hoops.

Problem is there's nothing re BYU to talk about since then.

SU, I think you're still not getting what Jay is saying.

Either that or you've started down the path of BYU hate and have just decided to run with it.

I thought you knew me better. But I would replace "hate" with antipathy or disdain. I don't like the word hate.

It sounds like, only from the words, like disdain and loathing, but that's just a textual observation, not a psychological analysis.

Mea culpa. Let it be "unreasonable disdain for BYU" then.

Not that we know of. Rose only recruits players who don't want to serve, and allows Utah to recruit likely missionaries.
