Hope people around the country start to recognize Brandon Taylor , he is so money.

Without Askia Booker Colorado was nothing
 
Just saw that Kyle Collinsworth had another triple double in byu's last game
23 points, 10 assists, and 12 rebounds.

Impressive.

He said he's going to more aggressive on offense for the rest of the year now that BYU is straddling a very fine line between NCAA/NIT berth. Hope so. I'd rather lose with him attacking the rim constantly than to see BYU go down chucking 3's all game.

You mean if they win every game they have left including Gonzaga and they play really well in the WCC tourney they have a chance at the NCAA.
 
Oh cool, you guys forgot how this process works since Utah has been out of the big dance for so many years. Don't worry, I'll fill you in. 68 teams. There is thing called an RPI that is a pretty big deal. BYU is hanging on the edge of the 68 as is, but would move up considerably if all they do is lose to Gonzaga for the rest of the year. They got 3 straight home games that will kick them into the low 50's if the win. If they then beat Portland on the road and play Gonzaga regardless of a win, they are into the 40's before the conference tourney. Then if they can just meet Gonzaga at some point in the conference tourney, that will automatically kick them up higher - low 40's; high 30's most likely. They are in. Beat Gonzaga either time and they can lose 2 more games to anybody.

Overly simplified. The NCAA tourney has 32 automatic bids (winning their conference). If BYU doesn't earn their conference, they will be faced with a number of factors, including SOS, W/L, A/P rank, RPI, end of season performance, etc..

They will likely need to be in the top, say, 25 of RPI, at least, because their SOS will be meh and the W/L will be as well. Of those 32 auto-bids, only about half will actually be better than BYU.. so BYU has to be that much better than the 'rest' to make it in.
 
BYU will have to finish strong if they have a chance of even being considered or they need to win the conference which won't happen unless they get hot right now they are 0-5 vs. the top 5 teams in their conference.
 
It is literally not possible for byu to make the tournament unless they win the Western Coast Conference tourney.

This is fact.
 
Do you guys really think the selection committee is going to pass on Mr. Triple Double himself and the second leading scorer in the country? No. BYU's too compelling. They are probably in even if they lose every game.
