We'll never beat BYU if this holds up.

Not a good start for Big 12.

Literally the only Big 12 game so far and you're freaking out?

That's an odd free throw shooting position but it works!

If only there were another option. Maybe someone in the East if you don’t see UCONN repeating. I’ll have to look through the seedlings in that region, maybe there’s some team that’s right below UCONN that could be considered?

Iowa State

Maybe this was covered, just joining, who is the terrible third voice announcing the BYI game?

 

[Cyched]

Damn. BYU still alive

 

[madguy30]

Why does UConn keep getting typed as UCONN?

Are we yelling it?

look at who it is, it's no surprise

 

[clonebb]

Game isnt over yet. Big time three.

 

[Cyched]

Hall shoved that guy

YTTV buffered here. Made it look even stranger.

Hard team to listen to. Avery Johnson and Deb Antonelli. Unfortunately it’s who we are stuck with this weekend. I’m not a fan of 3 person announcing teams.

Duquesne has the double storyline - no tourney bids for 45+ years, plus their coach is now retiring. I'm normally for B12 teams winning, but I would be more than fine with BYU being out of the bracket after today.

 

[atlantacyclone]

Wow. BYU gets destroyed. Hope we make it far enough for this to help us. 0-1 for the Big 12

Avery Johnson

Not a good start for Big 12.

This isnt the B12 anymore. This is a fresh season and everyone is in the same conference.

 

[madguy30]

I really liked that inbound play Duquesne ran.

 

[Cyched]

Dukes!

Traore is not that good. Just a big fat guy taking up space.

Compared to Khalifa he's Lebron James.

It's hard to take anyone seriously who watched this game, keyed a little on Khalifa, and tried saying BYU wasn't better off without him on the floor. He lagged in offensive transition, defensive transition, was slower than molasses in the half court, had a few TOs, caused a couple more TOs he wasn't charged with, and was nonexistant on the boards. It was one of the worst basketball performances I've seen all year.

Traore isn't an amazing player but he can at least run the floor, rotate on D, and CAN (though he missed some buniess to be fair) help offensively. That was, at minimum, a 10 point swing in the game.

One of the most outrageously egregious coaching decisions I've seen in a long time.

Down go the mormons!!! Where is BYU dad when you need him?
