I was just thinking Watson's big confidence game might pay off vs BYU. Get him out there defending their shooters.
Yeah...basically he probably acted the same way he has the past 30 years but got caught. Or WVU would make this conference even more ridiculously stacked this year.
I love how teams think the secret sauce to beating us is to muck it and ugly it up as much as they can. This team is like:

Dumbest play of the game was when CJones almost had that rebound around the 2:30 mark and the UCF player lunged at him to foul him obviously.
UCF still had a chance before than and much less after CJ sunk the two shots.
This one checked all the boxes:
-team is broken.
-bench everyone.
-hit the portal for an actual point guard.
-at this rate the team might lose in the first round.
-what is wrong with __________ who's making late plays to win?
I’ve been wondering all season how differently they would have been if all that didn’t go down. They clearly have talent but I haven’t watched too many of their games once they started losing.
Gilbert is a very good player. But he needs to not try to make EVERY PLAY a spectacular one...just some of them. 
There shouldn’t be any consternation about that win. That was a big-boy win.
Supposedly, reviewing that his feet were outside the arc . . . even though he was about 1-1/2 feet outside of the arc.I didn't know you could review a charge
On one play he'll look like Magic Johnson, on the next play he'll look like me trying to play in the Big 12.Gilbert is a very good player. But he needs to not try to make EVERY PLAY a spectacular one...just some of them.
I love him nonetheless.
He had a rough one, but if you don’t force the action against that team, you’re going to shoot jump shots all game. Came up huge late doing just thatGilbert is a very good player. But he needs to not try to make EVERY PLAY a spectacular one...just some of them.
well we did shut down their best scorer---for a lot of the game
early in game, announcers commented they thought it was 70/30 crowd, complimenting the Cyclone fans for showing up in force.
3 game lead on Kansas with 2 games to play makes me smile!.
