Home sweet home, BYU plays a OSU team that is similar to TCU. Mostly Jr’s and Sr’s so this is not a cake walk even if OSU is ranked about where the mid WCC teams like Santa Clara are.
OSU’s strength is inside with their two big men. #33 and #0. BYU’s Keba and Foos will cancel that out.
OSU is not a great 3 point shooting team. They have struggled the past 5 games to get over 30% from outside, BYU will also have plenty of open looks, both big advantages for BYU
BYU is favored (-15) at Home,
but BYU is tired of hearing about it, wins by 20.
83-63
Where in the world did these they get these crappy refs from. They’re handing out Ts like Biden is handing out awards. What a crappy crappy officiated game
Most of the losses have to do with turnovers. We did well in the first half but lost control several times with turnovers and they got a bit hot from the outside. They shot 38% from 3’s. Handling pressure is a real problem. Don’t know about Catchings That was a dumb thing he did but he needs to decide if he wants to go to the NBA or not.
Which is it? Play Catchings and hope that we can win games
or Do extactly what KY did and I pointed out days before the OSU game…Play the best players we have, specifically Mag. and just like that, KY replaces Catchings in the starting lineup with Mag.
Mag is the mystery 5th year grad student that I was perplexed about sitting while Catchings struggled. He along with Saunders are two guys that we have to have playing big minutes to win games in the Big 12.
The key about us winning enough games from here on out is Catchings. Mags can’t score the way Catchings is capable of. I suspect we will start seeing a better Catchings as we get closer to March and he will be a big reason for making the Dance. If not, we may not make the Dance.
