Perspective
I am amazed at all of the gloom and doom today on the b-ball team. Sure, they played crappy at times, but they were reasonably close to the #6 team in the country. On the road no less!
Here is exhibit A of what I am talking about: http://cougarguard.com/forum/showthr...ball#post35017 Not to pick on Archaea, but there was some serious anxiety and blood-letting at the beginning of the football season. And now Mike and other are saying that the b-ball team will never be as good as the current football team. Perhaps. But it it way, way too early to tell.

The challenge is to improve upon weaknesses.
What weaknesses did BYU exhibit last year? Lousy half court game. Poor rebounding. Sometimes too many turnovers. Plaisted got too many stupid fouls. What happened last night? Same as last year. That's the concern.

You were playing against one of the best defensive teams in the country. UCLA makes the half court offenses of good offenses look bad.

BYU doesn't beat a Top 5 team, National Championship runner up on their homecourt and the idiots freak out en masse.
Typical. BYU's ball team is dang good. This will be the best team we've had since the Roger Reid era. For those laughing at that last line....Roger Reid won a tourney game or two. So will this team.

I was there for the Reid era and BYU won a ton of games. It seems like we went to the NCAA's every year as well. Always one and done, but it was nice. Not sure why Reid gets such a bad rap, he won a lot.

I agree. He just got a bad rap cause the guy put his foot in his mouth so many times that after awhile it caught up with him. I think he deserved better treatment overall.

You could make the same argument about the football team. What did they do at the beginning of this year? Lose close games. Same thing they did in previous years.
