What's going on with BYU?

[Clones21]

Really struggling. If they don't get their crap together they may not make the Tourney.

They can't win on the road.

 

[awd4cy]

They won't make the tournament.

They can't win on the road.

BYU did win true road game at Stanford. But that has less weight right now after UConn dipped (Stanford got meaningful road win there) and Cardinal losing at home to Cal.

It's good ISU got that win at BYU — if Cougars turn out marginal, no harm done. At worst, it avoided a bad loss, and it remains a non-home win.

Both BYU and Stanford are compiling a bunch of "good losses."

Their schedule thus far has been no cakewalk. Good news for them is that their schedule gets much easier. I don't see them losing many more games this season. The Zags and St. Mary's (if they can get it together) on the road might be their only losses left. (I'd have BYU winning both in Provo)

Is there a chance we play BYU at home next year? They don't have a single senior on the roster, and Tyler Haws' little brother comes in as a true freshman. He's supposed to be really good.

4 of their 7 losses are to ranked teams btw.

I think confidence is huge in college sports. They could be fine if they get back on a roll, but it is hard to turn around. Their schedule does get a lot easier.

Must have something to do with Mika being blind now.

 

[JP4CY]

They won't make the tournament. No chance at all.
Look at this mid conference stretch:

Jan 16	@ SF	9:00 PM ET
Jan 18	@ SCU	10:00 PM ET
Jan 23	@ PORT	10:00 PM ET
Jan 25	@ #24 GONZ	10:00 PM ET

I heard that Mika just hasn't been the same since getting bear clawed.

I doubt BYU agrees to scheduling us again for a long time after the way this years game went down.
