Unless we lose by 30 we need to be ranked next week. We're already 40/31, so 25 wouldn't be a big jump after beating #6 early in the season.

Old Dominion isn't proving to be a push-over! BYU may not be playing UNC tomorrow if they don't step it up.

Great win. Wow!

If we beat Louisville and UNC on back to back nights, no way are we not ranked. If we lose to unc, we won't be ranked, but we will be close.

If we play UNC tight enough we might squeak into the top 25. We're already 31st right now.

If we beat UNC, I think we will be in the top 15. Not saying we are a legit top 15 team, but this early in the year, the polls are fuid, and two wins like that would move us up big time.

That was a really good win for BYU, but don't kid yourself about Louisville without Padgett they are not a top 10 team. They are a borderline top 25 team without Padgett. However, that is a really good victory for BYU either way.

BYU might just be able to win a NCAA tournament game, because that Louisville team is the type of team you will likely be meeting in the first round.

I am very impressed with BYU's offense. I hate watching that style of offense, but it has been effective for BYU. I still think BYU's defense is just not that good. Louisville had a ton of wide open looks in the game. BYU's interior defense was also incredibly poor.

BYU probably shouldn't have too much difficulty winning the MWC.

I agree about BYU winning the conference. The Cougars are the team to beat and even without Padgett, beating Louisville is a big win for BYU and will be a confidence booster.

Funk, why don't you like BYU's offense? Inside game, outside game. Quick passing, quick reversals. Good fast break, great secondary fast break.
