We win our tourney game next week - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

I don't care about seeding or placement.

We break the drought this year. I've been saying it for a few weeks. I'm bullish on this team.

Time to jump on the bandwagon now.

I agree with you. It is unfortunate that things played out the way they did. BYU had earned a solid 6 seed before the tourney and probably just played themselves down to an 8 seed. This is the angle MWC coaches should use about the Tourney. The seeding committee will seed BYU where they deserve to BYU, but BYU had a more difficult road to defend what a good long stretch of good basketball earned them. That is unfair.

Regardless, win the 1st round game and it will all be forgotten.

it's about Hair's accessability to the 'extracurricular' activity in Las Vegas.

All it takes to beat BYU is two or three talented, athletic guards.

Again. Same story back in 2000 and 2001 if I remember right. Same thing last year.

I don't see their first win in the tourney since 1993 happening this year.

bullish is not quite the word I would use in relation to this team.

The letters are all pretty much there.

But not quite.

First off the team they play is likely to not be as athletic as UNLV. Second of all they won't be at home.

At times I feel like I am the only Jimmer Fredette of our fanbase. Thank God some men from real institutions support the BYU why you freaking Lingo's and PHD's start turning into string pulling pussies. No wonder the team turns into pussies. They reflect the rest of you wankers!

Who the hell of you are with me? BYU is gonna kick some ass next Thursday...I am banking on a favorable matchup.

I said before I didn't think a backcourt of Murdock and Burgess could win a NCAA tourney game.

During the game I kept asking myself what Murdock added on the court. Couldn't think of anything. He was a huge defensive liability. Burgess actually had a decent game. But let's face it, no other team will be worried about Burgess on either end.

I won't predict a BYU in the tourney, nor will I predict a loss.

I will say, however, that my belief in a BYU win in the big dance is similar to SU's belief in the historicity of the Book of Mormon - I won't believe it until I see legitimate proof of it.

I'm with Rocky. This is the year.

my sentiments are generally positive, but were a little derailed by tonight.
