Mark Few looking like an old man that can’t remember his way home during his timeout interview. Dude is in shock.

I think he's a bit of a drunk.

BYU is what Iowa fans thought Iowa was under Fran.

Leaky on defense but can at least guard here and there and are tougher on offense.

I think Wisky will have a chance late.

Agreed. They’ll cut it to one possession

Wow I missed how this got out of hand so quickly lol

@bombercules.bsky.social

morbidly curious how this happens

Yeah I have beef with neither. BYU building a monster program is gonna suck though

I don’t know. BYU becoming national powerhouse again would be really good for the conference image. Even if ISU could do it on the field, we’ll never have the fan following to be that media darling that we need.

If the BYU players would stop getting the patented “pointing at the scoreboard” fouls they’d be in better shape.

BYU with a massive edge over Wisconsin in rebounds and Points in the Paint.

That just sounds weird.

Oh I know. I’m just saying it suck’s that we can’t be that.

Yeah I'm not sure why anyone wouldn't want teams in the conference to be good.

KU's been a powerhouse forever and it's the most anticipated game of the season usually.
Same for football; easy wins be damned, the conference needs a name team.

If and when Wisconsin loses this will the crew stop talking about the big ten being undefeated and talk about how the big 12 is likely one loss after tonight as well in pretty dominant fashion? Doubtful.

Why so?

WI's pretty soft in the front court and BYU has dudes.

 

[Lafaester54]

I don’t understand the hatred for BYU. Is it their religious affiliation?

They’re whiny pricks…imo.

 

[helechopper]

So you’re saying a soft edge? Nice!

 

[madguy30]

BYU seems to have about 3 of these guys and I just can't even.

Yes. I’m aware.

I’m talking about the program perceptions the last 20 or so years.

Sorry that missed.

 

[Kinch]

More of my wife commentating on at the half:
”Why are there four guys talking at once?”

 

[bos]

They’re whiny pricks…imo.

Tonight any whining they have is legit. Atrocious calls

That dude was my second favorite character.

 

[Cupped]

I have never seen a player given a technical for pointing at the scoreboard before.

I remember OU coach Billy Tubbs wishing he hadn't pointed at the score board once.
