Well, here we go. Now it gets real. First thing I noticed is that D. Hall is officiating the game. A long time antagonist of BYU, it will be hard to get an objective game from him. He will try to establish his authority and expertise early in this game and that means letting Rose and the Cougars know it will take a small miracle for them to have any chance in this game.
I know it isn’t a good way to start the season but mark my word, it will be obvious and apparent once the whistle blows… and continues to blow to the detriment of BYU… until the game is out of reach.
Then and only then will BYU get the calls to even out the tally.
I will give it to the team as they battled back and are making it a game. I am also glad to see that the officials started calling the fouls on Nevada… legitimate fouls.
Too bad after BYU took the lead that Yoeli and TJ took terrible shots back to back.
Keep your heads in the game guys, you are the experienced players on this team.
This foul explanation and call is a joke. It took way too long and they got it wrong anyway. If this is the direction college basketball is headed then I am losing interest already.
I guess you and I are the only cougarfans watching this game John…
The best thing in the world for this team would be to eliminate the sense of entitlement that has always been there. If someone wants to do the behind the back nonsense, sit em down.
We ran out of gas. Nevada got hot. But, I like the fact Rose played lots of players. This was a good game to show we can play with top teams.
The one thing that the game showed was Emery’s 3 point shooting will be needed.
And, Worthington played very little. I’d rather see Lee get the floor time because he can actually score and rebound.
Haws play was poor on offense. I thought his defense was not bad. Hardnett has a good game but ran out of gas. Emery will help with that.
The rest of the team played pretty well and we have some talent there. Just stay out of foul trouble.
Hawes looked like a little boy out there. I think he played the worst game is played in two years. Love to see more of Baxter and more of Hardy. Boy child’s got screwed on the calls tonight. Worthlesston Sure lived up to his name tonight
