That sewuence where Tamin chased a guy the length of the court and then came back and got an and one to put us up three with about 6 left was f**king incredible
You missed the part where he missed the layup first and went into beast mode. Frustrated that he missed the layup so he just said "**** that, I am just going to go get that ball back."

Just got done watching the game (I couldn't watch it live tonight). That was the poorest reffing job I have seen in quite some time!! The officials tried every way possible to give BYU the win. Absolute BS (reminds me of the officiating during TJ's win at KSU his first year). If the refs had been even AVERAGE in the second half, we likely win by 10! Hope this crew isn't in Bramalage on Saturday.

If we're going Elite 8 or further, it's going to be Curtis Jones and Lipsey that get us there. Those guys are DAWGS.

If Milan starts hitting threes we can really be in biz, but he's hit a freshman wall. Gilbert is up and down a little too.
Milan did hit a few tough mid range turn around buckets when the offense was sluggish. He's not hitting volume of 3s but does draw attention everywhere and seems to be finding ways to get closer shots more often. He had a great post move in first half that just didn't go in too

SIAP, but while Keshon didn't have a great shooting night (to say the least) he also had 5 assists to only 1 turnover, and this was only a few days after having 9 turnovers at UCF. Good on him.

First half was ok, we were just getting worked and it looked like we'd never adjust to counter BYU's strengths.

Second half really caught me off guard how it was like there were two different sets of rules for long stretches. The one where they had a handful of obvious fouls under the basket on one play fighting for a rebound...basically saying they weren't going to call fouls anymore, then five seconds later a BYU player just falls down and the call a foul. It was horrendous.

It's crazy they covered a 15 point deficit but really should have covered it so much more easily.

I read people saying this Team can make a final four but free throws or offense or something makes championship unlikely. Well of course winning a title in unlikely, it's hard for any Team. But if this Team is playing in a final four game, there is no reason to count them out. The defense is elite and if they don't turn it over they have enough different ways to get buckets which makes this by far TJs best Team

You’re totally right. I thought that is what happened but couldn’t recall. Just pure effort.

Wasn't there a foul in the second half where the BYU player was passing it and they gave him a shooting foul?
Yes. Was on one of those “euro steps”. Missed an obvious travel, called a ticky tack foul, and then gave him two shots when he kicked it out to shooter at three point line.

Not sure about others but this win feels about as good as any I can remember in recent years.

Love to beat the $hit out of Iowa in Hilton and love wins against great teams like Houston and KU, but this felt big.

Probably the rare second half comeback and would have just hated to send our seniors out with a loss. Also playing for a two seed or possibly a one if we get some help from elsewhere.

Opening of Sports Center tonight called out that we went 18-0 at Hilton this year and went 0-18 in conference only three years ago. Let that sink in for a minute…
