What? No pos reps for comparing Cusick to Earl Watson? Come on guys! I thought it was a good comparison at least....

Earl is usually our best PG for doing the "boring" things. Running the offense, getting us into sets, playing good defense, not taking shots but getting the scorers the ball, etc....

Carlino is more talented than Cusick. But I don't think there's any comparison to who runs the Cougars better... Carlino is more of a SG than a PG right now IMO.... Not to say that Carlino won't be a damn good PG in a few years...

Would -7 you for asking for rep, but apparently I have given out my fair share in the past 24 hours. Someone spot me.

My favorite part of the thread: BYU completes the biggest comback in NCAA tourny history and the OP still feels the need to fit a Utah jab into the post.

Obsess much?

I thought he was talking about the Jazz.
Any time anyone is talking about basketball, and Utah, I think Jazz.

Just a little light-hearted gamesmanship. Were the situtaions reversed, I'd expect a Ute fan to do the same. And I'd laugh about it.
 
I rememer in 98, after the utes lost in the title game, they had a gathering of fans and players to celebrate what they had accomplished, and all the players took potshots at BYU.
I mean, I was kind of laughing...they just went to the championship game, but they seemed more happy that they did and BYU didn't.
 
My brother, who gave up and missed the comeback was just really surprised. He got in the car, having no idea what had happened, and turned on the radio to hear the postgame interviews, and he was wondering why all the Iona players seemed so down. It took a few minutes to figure out what had happened. Then he went home and watched a replay.
He was really shocked.

I have to admit that I was this close to turning it off a couple of times. Thankfully I didn't.

Too bad. It was the biggest comeback in NCAA tourney history. Even bigger than when Kentucky came back and beat Utah in the finals.

Damn...sucks for me I missed it. Oh well, at least I got a sweet cordless drill on clearance.

Neat story.

Perhaps if Utah had purchased some of your bone growth formula, they could have held on to win that game.
 
BYU really struggled to shoot.

And I'm really not impressed with Carlino. I'd work him as a SG next season and really help Craig Cusick develop. To me, Cusick is a farrrrr better PG and provides you with the vision and intangibles that makes him a terrific floor general. Carlino doesn't possess those. He's more of a SG than a playmaker.

Cougs need to recruit some shooters. Davies is looking better and better. But BYU needs some shooters.

Good season. They made it to the tournament and battled hard. Which is better than any other school in this sorry *** state. Weber St. choked, Utah St, what the hell, and Utah has a lot of work to do. Hopefully next year Utah gets 4 schools into the tournament.
 
Overall, a solid season for BYU.
I didn't expect to win today. Marquette is a very good and disciplined team.

Carlino was ticking me off. I've never seen a player dribble into so many double teams. But he is only a frosh. He can learn.
There were a lot of bone-headed plays by BYU. They could have played with Marquette had they not done so many dumb things.
I won't miss Abujo. Haws coming back will be a big improvement there.
 
Watch out for Raul Delgado too. I've played pickup ball with him since he was about 16 since he's from the Provo area and he's nasty. Fearless, handles, can shoot, jet pack on his back, and he'll lock you up on defense. I love that kid. BYU plays too scared right now, they won't when he starts playing.
