First loss due to lack of Offensive rebounding? - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

I fear a seven to ten point loss, absent a tremendous night shooting. My prediction sadly is for the end of the streak and a lack of quality wins.

So close, yet so far.

BYU is an almost, maybe sort of program. We don't have the players. Jimmer is our best player for now.

Being a BYU basketball fan means one develops a lot of patience and endurance for pain.

Was the loss due to a disparity in talent/athletic ability? Wake Forest is a heckuva program. I think the Utes are 1-2 against them but it took Tim Duncan leaving for Utah to get that win.

I wanted to watch this game because of my love for college sports, but completely forgot about it.

Rebounding was the key to the loss.

I've seen BYU play once this year, and it's obvious that they have severe problems at the 4 and 5 position. The 5 position in all facets, and the 4 position in terms of rebounding (Offensive and Defensive) and defense.

In crunch time, they fold.

the team is almost good enough, but alas a failure on the big stage.

Rebounding is all about wanting to get the ball.

Perhaps Wake wanted the game more?

They had better athletes, and a lot more of the really tall kind. We got ours all fouled out, defending them.

So, it was talent more than being outrebounded.
