God I'm sick of being a BYU fan. They puss out in big games. Football and basketball but especially basketball. They haven't won an NCAA tourney game since I was in Jr High School and I'm 30 years old.

They are playing like complete Vaginas in this game and they should go home and be embarassed. They are absolutely getting their asses whooped by a team who wants it more. These pansies need to go back to church basketball.

Yeah they will beat Colorado State and Wyoming at home in the Marriott Center but put them in a pressure game or in a hostile environment and they fold up like little girls.

At least I didn't pick them to win in my brackets this year.

Go Utes and Aggies.

What do you expect bro? Rose built a shooting team, and when someone has the athletes to defend your big three you're going struggle like this.

Maybe Davey boy should go outside of Utah County to recruit.

I didn't expect anything different, hence I picked Texas A&M to win the game. None of the so called big 3 are from Utah County, so that's not the problem.

I'm convinced they think God will help them to win and thus they play like pussies. That is why they suck.

Another typical BYU chokejob (and I'm a BYU grad). I'm giving Rose one more year, then he's gotta go if there is no improvement. Roger Reid may have been an epic fail when it comes to PR, but at least his teams didn't consistantly choke big games, something that the Cleveland/Rose era has perfected.

Rose's interview last night where it was good just to make the tournament , so there is no pressure to win. I am amazed that his teams never come ready to start the games. They don't start the games playing defense. It is very frustrating.

Pretty awesome performance from BYU. Almost a clone from last year to start the game. Cummard was a real fire cracker. Especially in the first half.

Wonder if BYU played him out of the draft this year.

I like Turner, he'll be a good pro. Awesome size for a two guard at 6-7.

ya, looks like brandon roy-lite. probably a pipe dream, but it would awesome if he drops to jazz in mid-20s.

Depends on how good Ohio State does. For some reason people haven't been all that high on their prospects outside of Oden lately it seems. Look at what happened to Koufos. He was a projected #1 pick for a while on most draft sites, and he fell quite a bit even with having a good season.

You mean like NY, oh wait... only 3 guys are from utah county or even utah 2 of which were top high school players.

Even though it looks like VCU is outclassed by UCLA, Maynor is so smooth with the ball in his hands. He's a good good PG. I'd love for him to fall to the Jazz if they still have a pick.

carrottop12 · Post #15 » by **carrottop12** » Fri Mar 20, 2009 4:21 am

Maynor missed a tough game winner which had he made would have probably cemented him as a top 10 pick this year. He's way better then I thought, I didn't get to watch him much this year but he's going to be a damn good pro.

C'mon Utah St., I think they can really pull off a good upset against a very good Marquette team.

Wow Gonzaga got out of the first round for once.

I really hope USU and Utah can win today. it's always good to see local teams go far. I went 14 of 16 as well. missed on butler and you guessed it BYU

carrottop12 · Post #20 » by **carrottop12** » Fri Mar 20, 2009 6:19 pm

USU has a 6 point lead in Boise right now with 4:40 to go. The crowd is packed with Utah State fans.
