This is why I want to keep the tourny in Vegas
BYU needs to learn to win in that environment. Until then they will remain pussies lacking the mental toughness needed to win on a national stage. Vegas showed us the heart of Jimmer and Sister Cummard.

Jimmer might end up being the most beloved Cougar hoopster of you and I since "The Intangible" brought his girth and big heart to the hardwoods. Can we get Jimmer to wear Jake's number and forego socks in favor of just taping up his stumpy feet before cramming them into a high top? http://www.cougarboard.com/noframes/...html?id=626741 What if Jake had Trent's body? Oh the injustice of life!

All the same, I'd still prefer not to give them the advantage, but I see noah's point.

Jimmer is the "Tangible" to Jake's "Intangible." They are soulmates in that neither were/are intimidated in the face of superior talent and hence, find/found a way to "git 'er done." Jimmer's advantage is that his brain is totally wired for the court. He is the Ty Detmer of BYU Basketball. Quote:

Seriously, the problem is that the home court advantage is vastly compounded in a tournament when players have three games in three nights. Such a tournament is perverse anyway, but the team with the home court's advantage only grows as the days go by and the home team is sleeping in its own bed, etc. Look what happened in the WCAC this year. They played the tournament on San Diego's home court. The WCAC had two teams demonstrably superior to San Diego that had had splendid years, Gonzaga and St. Mary's. Guess who won the tournament.
