Wyoming gets a bad rap from a lot of folks, but I tend to like it. 🤷‍♂️

@CriddleBenjamin Love the amazing highlights and buzz AJ gave us, but much rather have a team like last year with shooters that make the offense more fun to watch.

@jaromjordan Mboup and Kostic missing FT's may prove costly.

[Will Wickert @WasatchWill]

@TheFieldOf68 That's because BYU has no bigs who can defend other bigs.

[Will Wickert @WasatchWill]

@geoffjBYU Should still gain some good stamina from their efforts tonight that will hopefully serve them well for next week. May be a blessing in disguise to not have to play on that court again.

[Will Wickert @WasatchWill]

@joewheat27 Richie was back on the bench with the guys tonight after being away from them. Maybe he really makes a big difference even just being on the bench even though not playing.

[Will Wickert @WasatchWill]

Who made the biggest difference for BYU tonight? Richie Saunders back on the bench with the guys or @DurrantMark back on the call with @gregwrubell? Me:

@prezstar2 The irony here is that had BYU not had a certain key player suspended that same year, they were highly likely to have been the ones to play UCONN for that trophy. Kemba vs Jimmer would have been a legendary matchup. And then. Who knows? Maybe it's BYU that would have won that.

@rtmccombs @jaromjordan upon learning that:

[Will Wickert @WasatchWill]

@joewheat27 I think they're still a top 25 team. Just not a top 20 team and most certainly not a top 10 team.

[Will Wickert @WasatchWill]

@jakehatch They will take Tennessee's spot for #25. Then lose to Baylor to finish the job next week.

Is 2025/26 @BYUMBB the most overhyped basketball team in NCAA history?

[Will Wickert @WasatchWill]

@BYUapologist Colorado may be the only game left that they actually win. And only because that's a home game.

[Will Wickert @WasatchWill]

@jakehatch Only game left on the schedule I have any confidence in is Colorado. And only because that's a home game.

[Will Wickert @WasatchWill]

@jaromjordan Thinking about all the missed put-back & dunk attempts by Keita & Bido, in addition to the Bidunga "block" on AJ that should have been 2 free throws for AJ instead of a 2 point fast break for KU really hurts. That alone was a potential 4 point difference.

[Will Wickert @WasatchWill]

@geoffjBYU I'm not. We don't have a bench and it's hard to see our big 3 being consistent enough from game to game to make it beyond Sweet 16.

[Will Wickert @WasatchWill]

@geoffjBYU Time to accept the ceiling for this year's team is looking like another Sweet 16.

[Will Wickert @WasatchWill]

.@BYUMBB likely has the most talented team it's ever had. Problem is that at least 10 other teams can say the same and their overall talent is simply still better than BYU.

[Will Wickert @WasatchWill]

@geoffjBYU It's obviously a must win for me to feel happier than I otherwise would when I go to sleep on Saturday night.

@jernarogilford Thank you for all your contributions in helping BYU's defense and especially the secondary growing into what it is today. Both as player and coach. You will be missed. Michigan is blessed to have you. Go Cougs and Go Blue 💙💙
