Sorry man. Food options, celebrities, swag and glow sticks don’t mean squat to me. That’s not going to get me to start attending games again, like I did for 40+ years.

I think they should give seats away to football season ticket holders. You’d get people in the seats, and it would build momentum.

You can’t beat the weather in Hawaii. Poipu is my favorite. Jan-March humpback whales and 80 degrees. I’m sitting on the beach in Maui as I make this post. Been here two weeks and the weather and beach have been awesome. T shirt shorts and flip flops is all you need. Sunscreen!!

It is certainly arguable that Mason could be taking some more minutes in the guard line, but you hit the nail on the head, we just don’t have that solid guard to anchor the line-up so why not go with the bigger lineups. Our options at guard are really a combination of “pick your poison” and “let’s roll the dice to see who’s hot”.

Winning trumps everything. Parking is fine for small crowds but large crowds is a problem. Bring back the blackout rules for home games. If a certain number of seats aren’t sold the game is blacked out locally. It’s become to easy to sit on the coach and watch the game instead of fighting all the elements plus easy to hit the off button when we…[Read more]

Knell was more worried about mocking the crowd than making his free throws. Hall was irritated because he couldn’t get the slivers out of his butt from sitting on the bench and watching the freshman take over his position.

I agree Holladay. They were being overly aggressive when our bigs had the ball. They were happy with a steal or a foul so to complain after the game is bush league. Always the hypocrites when it comes to the refs. After 1 good year in FB and NIL money to buy a good BB team their fans are back to being whiny a-holes again. It was nice not hearing…[Read more]

Mason also underutilized and I think his recent game minutes are below his season average, not trending the right way.

Keanu def underutilized (IMO), which is why I’m harping on it.

On the other side, Gabe it could be argued is grossly over utilized. But then you look at Miro & Hunter, and think meh, good to see Mike being increasingly utilized. Beyond him the other guards are a toss up. It does make more sense that Craig is using Wahlin more frequently as a…[Read more]

Player BPM MPG
Keanu: 8.2 15.3
Lawson: 7.8 23.2
Wahlin: 5.2 21.6
Mason: 5.2 18.7
Mongo: 5.3 21.9
Gabe: 3.3 28.6
Ezra: 2.2 19.9
Miro: 2.1 21.5
Hunter: 1.9 21.3
Keller: 0.7 10.4

I’ve seen a lot of players shoot air balls in college and the NBA. It’s obviously rare, but it happens. Props to him for hitting the 3 and making 3/4 free throws w/ all the pressure of the world on his shoulders. I have criticized Erickson for his entire tenure w/ us. He made the clutch plays to win us this game = he deserves nothing but love…[Read more]

No kidding. I re-watched the last 5 minutes of regulation and all of overtime. I tried to pay attention to the whistles and I’d love for their fans to call out any specific calls (or no calls) they disagree with. I really don’t see many, if any, questionable calls. They were playing highly aggressive defense whenever Lovering and/or Ausar were…[Read more]

I use this site, click on any header to sort on that stat

Good stuff.

Would be interesting to see minutes per game added to the side of BPM in your list. This would highlight the underuse of certain high impact players and overuse of certain low impact players.

I hear ya, good point. And to this point in the season, the BPM looks like this:

Keanu: 8.2
Lawson: 7.8
Wahlin: 5.2
Mason: 5.2
Mongo: 5.3
Gabe: 3.3
Ezra: 2.2
Miro: 2.1
Hunter: 1.9
Keller: 0.7

And the DBPM still has Jake, Laswon, Mongo, & Keanu in the top 4 spots, but Mason and Gabe fall down the list and Miro & Hunter jump up.

So my question…[Read more]

just think if Utah can make free throws, they win by twenty,

if Utah had 2 to 3 players score in double digits they win by twenty.

again Dawes sit the bench most of the game ! props to Auser and Lawson.

Smith coaching needs improvement at best.

speaking of little bitches, I have been watching Utah / byu games for 40 plus years, they have always had little B;s on the team, this year is d Hall and K Knell cry babies at best.

I don’t mean to pitch Erickson, he is just a guy. But he has got his FT% up to the high 80s this year. He did airball a FT but the game ended with the 3 he hit and 3 for 4 at the line in the last minutes for out last points. Not all league but no other all league guys showed up to end the game. By rule, I gota say thanks to anyone that helps get a…[Read more]
