BYU playing Stanford right now on ESPNU

[inCyteful]

BYU looks like one of those scrappy teams you have to hate - bigger UNI. I don't like this guard of theirs - Carlino - sounds too much like Carfino.

Looks like its their three guards Haws, Carlino, and Collinsworth doing most of the damage for BYU. I'd assume Kane will cover Haws and Naz on Carlino. Thomas on Collinsworth could cause some issues though. Then their bigs have some height but not too concerned about that as we've handled big posts before. Should make for an interesting game.

BYU can freaking shoot. Or Stanford's defense sucks... it's 93-78 with 5:44 left.

Nice name-drop -- Carfino hadn't re-entered my conscious memory for about 22 years. :smile:

Wow. BYU can score at will. Shooters and penetrators all over the floor. They should be ranked.

 

[GoSTATE71]

BYU can definitely score the ball.

 

[Thompsonclone]

108 points.. I'm almost thinking this game will be tougher to win than the Michigan game.

It won't be.

If you are going to praise them for their 112 points, you also have to point out that they gave up 103 to a Stanford team that barely got passed Bucknell (72 - 68) in their opener.

I bet you about 80% of these fanatics are too young to remember Steve Carfino. I heard he is doing commentary for Fox Sports doing NBL work. Played over in Australia in the NBL for many years. Drafted by the Boston Celtics in 1984 late in the 6th round and was shortly thereafter cut.

Me = 20%

 

[mjhavlo76]

I am old enough to remember Carfino too...

 

[uthaman]

Carfino, you're ugly... Carfino, you're ugly... One of the most memorable student chants ever!

 

[Cyclonepride]

Yep, watched Carfino play.

 

[Erik4Cy]

Not liking our chances of winning out there, but it will be a high scoring game for sure.

I'd go with 98%.

Agree. BYU looks like they should be ranked.

Me to. From Bellflower, California I think

 

[keepngoal]

Yep, watched Carfino play.

 

[CyKings]

Agree. BYU looks like they should be ranked.

They may have scored 112... but they also gave up 103 to Stanford. While there offense may be potent, it doesn't look like they have much of a defense at all. This is a Stanford team that was held to 72 against Bucknell in it's first game.

Thanks for bringing that name up



I'd finally erased the memory of my youth as (what seemed like) the lone Cyclone in Hawkeyeland and you had to go and bring it up "Steve Carfino from Bellflower, California" again.
