This game worries me more than K state. BYU can get hot from three and beat anyone. Plus sometimes the emotion from Senior night affects things.

Got a good feeling about tonight, 80-62 good guys. Everything went their way in Provo, no such luck tonight.

I’ve seen a couple posts on Twitter questioning if there would be a good student turnout tonight or not; spring break is not until next week right?
Gauging by the FB ticket exchange board I'm pretty optimistic of a good student turnout for this one. Seems like a decent amount looking to grab one for tonight. Probably won't be packed to the gills on the east end balcony but a good showing. Rest of the place will be absolutely solid and all will be rabid.

Just checked my tickets in the Cyclone app and the option to add to wallet is gone. Have logged out and back in, no change. Anyone else see this?
Try turning your phone to see it horizontally. This happens to me and I can only see "Add to wallet" when I turn my phone. Very weird. Hopefully this works!

I think it might have been one of my favorite posts of all time when he was like “real men don’t buy canned soda, we get it fresh fresh packed, I just picked up some 40oz bottles”.
I'm still not convinced he wasn't some random troll posing as a BYU fan. He seemed to be way too much of a Mormon caricature to be real. But man, I wanted him to be real so badly.

Very worried about this game. They really did a good job of not only passing out of our double team but passing quickly again thus beating our rotation to find guys for open 3s. Plus, if our rotation would run out on those passes, they would dribble drive right by us. I wonder if we will back off the double team tonight since BYU exploited it so well the last time? And we have to get out of our offensive funk, I don't think we can win this one relying on defense.

I am guessing that we will make some adjustments, maybe to the double teams, but we also might make some changes and sit on some of those quick second passes.

they shoot alot of 2 pointers and about 58% from 2. We don't give up alot of points generally inside the arc. Surprisingly, they shoot the 3 ball just as good as we do. But they can get hot quick.

I think you meant that they don't shoot many 2-pts - but shoot a very high percentage on them. Less than 45% of their points come from 2-pters. They are one of the highest 3-pt scoring teams at 41% of their points. 50.4% of their FG attempts are 3s, and we give up 45.4% of FG attempts as 3s to opponents (NCAA average is 37.3%)

They don't take many free throws and the 20 they made against us is the second highest in conference play (other than a bonkers 40-46 in their 90-88 win against UCF). Keeping them off the line is huge.
