It's nice to see your reverence for all things BYU sports. Asking if things could get any worse than a 15-7 season when they haven't had their starting center for 2 months must mean you have some serious expectations for them. Noted.

Lmao if losing to teams like Nevada, Memphis, Utah St etc etc in football and teams like Pepperdine, San Francisco and San Diego isn't rock bottom, I literally CANNOT wait to watch it get worse.

2-3 in your last 5 WCC games.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

West Coast Conference!!!
 
Sucked so bad to see St Johns blow that lead to Duke. MSG was rocking. They were feeding off that energy. Playing fast. Playing bigger than the stage. Then they woke up and realized they aren't that good. I've always liked them since the Ron Artest days for some reason.
 
Washington had a guy that was a monster, Robert Upshaw, we had no answer for him. If we didn't already have Gobert I'd think about drafting him.

I claim him off....aaaa....waivers? On behalf of Brigham Young University. I grant the NCAA the right to approve a special mid-year transfer to BYU.

Naw, but really, sucks because I remember reading this a month ago:

Upshaw's evolution into an impact college player and an NBA prospect is a testament to his perseverance because there were times when it seemed his basketball career had stalled.

This is a guy who averaged an underwhelming 4.1 points and 3.8 rebounds as a freshman at Fresno State despite arriving with more hype than any recruit the school has landed in years. This is a guy who Fresno State coach Rodney Terry suspended twice as a freshman for team rules violations and eventually decided was more trouble than he was worth. This is a guy whose spot on the Washington roster was in jeopardy last spring after the coaching staff banned him from attending practices or games so he could address his off-court issues.

"I think it has made Rob a stronger person fighting through so many obstacles to get to this point," said his mother Ceylon Sherman. "Rob has always been a sweet, caring person, but the decisions and choices he was making weren't the right ones. He has matured a lot over the last year or two. Now he appreciates what he has more because he had to work harder to achieve it."

Bad habits/attitudes don't die easily though. It's possible he is a better person than he was at Fresno but still not where he needs to be. Hopefully this latest dismissal is the impetus for a bigger step forward and he can at least get a shot at being a pro.
