The story of better athletes taking it to the rim on BYU, and BYU settling for outside jumpers, well I've heard that story before.
BYU from the 1 position to the 4 position can't get to the rim (with the exception of Jimmer). That's the difference.
How many charges did BYU draw? There's your answer to the game there.

It really sucks that BYU plays so well for such long stretches in the season and then loses focus in front of rabid UNLV fans. Twice.
You can slice and dice it any way that you want but homecourt was HUGE in this series. Its just too bad that the team didn't have the balls to suck it up and deliver through it all. They really had a chance to prove something positive about themselves.
And I guess that tp is back to being a goat for today.
