Hey, it happens. Don’t worry about it

I agree with everything you said. But you didn’t answer my question. Do you still invest in going to football games despite our passing percentage being 103rd in D1 this past season? And if yes, why the difference?

I’m not trying to noodle you…I’m just curious about how fan psychology works and this is a particularly interesting one to me.

This is why I don’t want to really invest in going to the games. Look at how pathetic that percentage is.

I get what you’re saying, but do you still invest in going to football games despite our passing percentage being 103rd in D1 this past season? If yes, why the difference?

It’s worth pointing out that Lawson’s BPM of 5.5 is still really good. That’s NBA All-Star level. And if Ezra and Hunter were able to maintain their BPM, they would both be All-Americans.

The highest BPM over the course of an entire NBA season was Jokic in 2021-2022. His BPM was 13.7.

I largely agree with your thoughts with this exception:

Ezra started timid in the first half but came alive in the second, true.
Keanu stands around that’s why he isn’t playing, false.

See the irony? Ezra played 31 min and Keanu played 11. For the first half, Ezra didn’t do shit but in the second half, he got in the flow and blew up. Somewhere…[Read more]

ahem… Keanu is a 69% (27/39) FT shooter.. worst…? really…

Caleb 31% (yeah you heard that right) 5/16
Keller 40% 4/10
Lovering 42% 23/54
Mongo Mike 50% 9/15
Ezra 60% 59/98 (he has actually really improved, at least he got above 50%)
Jake 64% 16/25
Mason 66% 6/9 (pretty small sample)

He’s basically the same as Miro who is 27/38 (71%), and…[Read more]

Are you a child or just mentally challenged? Shouting something on the internet doesn’t make it true. Dawes is NOT our worst FT shooter, not by a long shot. Lovering is worse by a substantial margin. Dawes is a 69% FT shooter, which isn’t good, but it isn’t awful either. As bad as our team is from the line, I’d wager to say he is one of our better…[Read more]

You gotta make your team at least above 70% every game. Those are the effort things as well. Utah runs away with this game if you just capitalize when the other team gives you free shots.

BYU basketball really knows how to live up to the standards set by their sponsors. PACS is being investigated for fraud. Apparently, BYU basketball should be too!

Isn’t he a 70%+ free throw shooter? Based on how our team shoots free throws, that’s got to be one of the best percentages on our roster?

His post game was kind of lame too. Kind of seems like a dick. Basically blames the refs but then also says the classic “not why we lost” garbage.

One of those nights. In crunch time they left Dawes open for a 3, that is not his shot, and we needed a bucket. I thought oh no, but he drained the shot.

I have not noticed it so much in other games but tonight I could see being tired factor into FT shooting. In the first half we shot FTs very well. Coming down the stretch we were tired but then so was the Y. You could see they wanted to foul Lovering at the end. I think it was at the end of regulation with seconds the Y got loose on the base line…[Read more]

Great win. Smith coached a good game and we matched up athletically with the cougars. Might be the only other team in the Big 12 we match up with. Our bigs played physical and caused them problems. Hopefully this win will shut them up for a day or two. Haha

Well put. I love beating those pricks. I am sitting in the football stadium parking lot with a big smile on my face.

Meanwhile Keiba Keita had 4 points to Auser’s 26. lol.

Every day there are dozens of joe shmoes at any local rec center that can hit 8/10 free throws. Shitty free throw shooting is proof of a lack of effort, focus, and conditioning in practice.

When I played HS ball, our coach made us run ladders at the end of practice then he would pick a random player to shoot a free throw. If they missed we had to…[Read more]

we need someone that has a green light to allow the other guys to get open. Without Madsen, even when he is chucking bricks, we would have no real three point threat and our offense would come to a screeching halt.

To be fair to Young, he’s been a head coach for 1/2 a season.
