Looks like an easy 20 PPG scorer year 1

BYU sucks…

 

[fsanford]

BYU put 4 guys on one side Dybantsa on the other and let him work

 

[isufbcurt]

It's kind of funny watching teams that spend a **** ton of $$$ on their roster fail!!

 

[ISU_Guy]

Not a good look for byu today.

I took a flyer on BYU and I crashed.

What game was that far off. We are going to have time before another game starts. The games are horribly spaced out.

I really liked going to Milwaukee the two times I did but the 2nd time it seemed like the entire night session got moved back about two hours.

 

[Kinch]

Texas gave BYU a lot of chances down the stretch.

 

[Marcelason78]

BYU paid a whole lot of money to accomplish nothing this season

Could not have happened to a better school.

 

[Cyclonepride]

I still feel like the play-in game teams have an advantage in that second game, and they shouldn’t, but not sure what you can do about it

Illinois-Penn was supposed to start at 8:25
Georgia-Saint Louis was supposed to start at 8:45
Gonzaga-Kennesaw St was supposed to start at 9:00
Houston-Idaho was supposed to start at 9:10

There were no great options in that pod.

You've got BYU, Texas, Gonzaga, and Kennesaw State in that pod and none of them feel like sweet 16 teams

 

[fsanford]

Texas gave BYU a lot of chances down the stretch.

They should have just started hacking the Texas Big with 5 minutes left

 

[BigLame]

I know they had injuries, but this was a bad season for BYU. Not sold on Young being a great coach.

Nothing wrong with that.

 

[NWICY]

F*cking Mormons.

I’ve been thinking this the whole second half of the season, even before the Saunders injury. They have great pieces at every position, but they were not melded into a great team. It seems to me their coach is all Xs and Os, and no rah rah team. If you’re gonna get all that talent, you still have to be able to coach them. They played like an AAU team most of the year

Id be curious what the record is of play-in P5 teams in the R64 vs comparably seeded non play-in teams is

[FriendlySpartan]

They lost their best player to injury. He won't get fired

Not just their best player but a lottery pick at that

Easy, get rid of them. Or only allow non P4 schools who haven't completely underachieved like Texas.
