I've been away for a week and didn't catch the first part of the game...but why did Fredette play the entire game and Murdock sit? (I expected Fredette to at least get a breather)

Otherwise, I'm glad to get that over with. I'm usually embarrased by BYU basketball whenever it comes to the national stage. This year against UNC & Louisville gave me false hope. I don't know what to say about Plaisted other than it wasn't pretty.

How's spring practice coming?

I just need to vent! That was freaking emberassing how we started that game. Our rebounding was atrocious. No excuses, all i am hearing on the post game interviews is "Give them credit' 'They are a good team". NO they are not. We suck in the tournament, that's the bottom line.

Thanks for the year Cougs, there was much good and there is much to work on.
I think they need to be as tough mentally as physically. They need to revisit fundamentals. They would win a lot more games (including the MWC championship and the game tonight) with the little things like making free throws and boxing out.
It is hard to win when you get one shot at the basket. It is called defensive rebounds. UNLV and AM beat us at that very game. More opportunities equals more points.

Also, why is it that BYU always seems to have an opponent that just "goes off"? Is that a lack of adjustment on our part to get them out of their rhythm? Me thinks so.
Emery will probably be our best defender as soon as he steps back on campus.
