Traore is not that good. Just a big fat guy taking up space.

Compared to Khalifa he's Lebron James.

It's hard to take anyone seriously who watched this game, keyed a little on Khalifa, and tried saying BYU wasn't better off without him on the floor. He lagged in offensive transition, defensive transition, was slower than molasses in the half court, had a few TOs, caused a couple more TOs he wasn't charged with, and was nonexistant on the boards. It was one of the worst basketball performances I've seen all year.

Traore isn't an amazing player but he can at least run the floor, rotate on D, and CAN (though he missed some buniess to be fair) help offensively. That was, at minimum, a 10 point swing in the game.

One of the most outrageously egregious coaching decisions I've seen in a long time.

Down go the mormons!!! Where is BYU dad when you need him?

 

[isufbcurt]

[Cyclonepride]

Welp, my bracket is ****** lol

That’s why I don’t worry about the bracket beyond our little part of the draw

 

[CycloneErik]

Love them Dukes!!!

Nice effort from Hall to try leaning in on the Dukes as he let that go.

All we need is Morehead now

I really liked that inbound play Duquesne ran.

I did as well but one of those feet had to be close to still being outside the baseline. Glad they didn't look! (it may not have been as close as I thought)

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

I’m actually very surprised BYU lost this game. I figured they could be a darkhorse sweet 16 team

 

[ISU_Guy]

Well big 12 off to a great start. At least they are in our region

 

[Gunnerclone]

I’m all for chaos in the East.

It's a 4 point game, why bother putting less than half a second on the clock.

 

[3TrueFans]

Eat my ass BYU

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Go cry into your glass of milk Mormons!

 

[2speedy1]

Just remember they dropped BYU a seed because they cant play on Sunday.

That no Sunday rule probably bit them.

Please clean up the head whip back/selling fouls this offseason.

 

[Bewilderme]

Welp, time for a little consolation soak
