College Basketball '14-15......

Utah got bent over and screwed on that out of bounds play..

We got bent over and screwed the whole game. That's the nature of playin Zona in the pac 12. Zona 37 FTA to Utah's 21. AZ +11 pts from the line. Frustrating.

Honestly the second half wasn't so bad but having to play Olsen early was BS. It was the bogus calls early in the game that got on my nerves. Still have to give AZ credit though. They outplayed us down the stretch.
 
Bring on Kentucky! Wiltjer clearly has never played in big games before.....he absolutely abused BYU in the high post in the game earlier this year....I can't even remember if he caught a ball in that area all last night. No, but really, Haws and Wiltjer both played awful. To see BYU win with basically solid defense and rebounding above all else while their normally consistent scorer was off....and being a turnover machine.....and not shooting free throws like he normally does was extremely encouraging.

What I found interesting about Gonzaga was that Sabonis was basically being counted on to be their closer. That could be a weakness for them, even though I think he's a good big with elite level footwork/patience. I think Pangos or Wiltjer needs to be that guy.

The NCAA thanks BYU.
Now they can slide the Zags to a 2 seed and put them in Duke's region.
 
I'll say they're in as long as they have no more bad losses.. which means any more losses.
I agree. They could still lose in the WCC (as long as it's to Gonzaga) and still get in. But I think this game cements them in as long as they don't lose to anybody but Gonzaga.
 
way to make fool out of me Zags.... what a terrible game. There is no way they should be losing to BUY even if they play 75% to their abilities...Now they **** the bed completely.
 
Would love a 4-13 Utah BYU matchup.

That would be kind of sweet.....though I'd prefer they meet later. I don't typically like playing teams you've already played that early - but another shot at Utah would be nice. My only hope is that BYU doesn't get put in one of those "first round"...really..... play-in games. When BYU won one of those a few years ago.....they technically won a NCAA tournament game....but it just didn't feel that way at all.

Beggars can't be choosers, tbh.

If Byu gets in they almost certainly will be playing in one of those games. They're still on the bubble
