clearly jimmer done sandbagged us coming into this contest...slowing down,banged up?...he established his bonafides as POY...Lundquist and Kellogg said nothing to change my opinion that they are milktoasts and turkeys...kerr had some opinions,but i disagree with his projection that BYU will secure a #1 seed by winning the MTW tourney,altho they are solid #2...BYUs OOC sked was stronger than SDSts, which was limited to Cal and the two best teams in the WCC...whenever SDSt started to close, it was with uptempo and turnovers...did learn that Fisher had san diego roots before he went to michigan to work for bill freider...clearly a band of cohesive well coached mission done white boys can still dominate a bunch of athletic brothers in college hoops

Re: SDSt BYU post mortem,please
I liked your commentary, lordjeff.
SDSU was sloppy in its biggest game of the season. How did BYU deflect so many passes playing a zone defense?
In the first meeting in Provo, Fredette scored 43 points with no assists. Today, Fredette scored 25 points with nine assists. Jimmer's a gamer and should never be underestimated at the college level.
I know it's only one game, but how can you not upgrade BYU and downgrade SDSU after today's game?

Before yesterday (and I'm not refering to the SDS-BYU game), I was hoping my Texas Longhorns would draw BYU in its bracket. No longer. I really thought Dogus Balbay would be able to shut Fredette down. But now, with Burk of Colorado going off like he did, I seriously doubt whether Texas even gets a #1. Yeah, Jimmer looked pretty good, but his ball handling is still suspect.

SDSU missed way too many easy shots I thought and BYU wsa the better team. They had players really step up in a hostile enviornment and SDSU was over rated by us all. They can't run with the White boys and I can't see how UNLV lost to them?????? BYU had everything going against them and were very impressive.

Re: SDSt BYU post mortem,please
gotta weigh in the level of competition but that aside I still think Jimmer is pretty tough. I wouldn't give you a nickle for SD st. May get their first tourney win ever...other than that I didn't see much .

Re: SDSt BYU post mortem,please
the one sided nature of the game did little to lay the basis for future national telecasts of MWC games... games between the top teams in the BigEast and Big Ten usually give the viewer contests fought closely to the buzzer-good theatre and better ratings

Re: SDSt BYU post mortem,please
I love the raw talent and athleticism of Kawhi Leonard, but I rarely see any emotion or team spirit from him compared to say, Jimmer Fredette. In fact, I'm not sure Leonard and teammate Billy White work well together at all. White's body language is terrible (arguing every call) and Leonard seems disinterested at times. Strange team, SDSU.

I think west coast basketball is weak. My brackets and my betting will either thrive or die on this theory.

Kawhi is a quiet shy guy and I noticed the same from Billy White who has been crying more than ever this year. Maybe cuz Kawhi gets ll the press

Re: SDSt BYU post mortem,please
are you too close to the sdsu program to have an unbiased opinion?....talk to me after the projected finals game of the MWC tourney....lunardi now has BYU as a 1 in the west and SDSU as a three in the swest

west coast basketball is weak, so is the east coast, maybe something in the middle is better, but i can't get myself in shape to go walking to the midwest, I have to get thru the mideast before i get there

after byu loses last nite, lets say each have identical conf records. but now if sdsu beats byu in the conf tournament, the aztecs prob stay in the west, which imo, is advantageous. before all this, byu had the nr 1 or 2 seed in the west locked up. still no matter what seed or where they play, sdsu isn't advancing far in this tournament.

I learned a valuable lesson this season: don't handicap the coach, handicap the coaching staff. Sharp assistants can cover for a clueless figurehead.
