Sure the basketball team was playing against a very tough opponent. But we expected more in the poise department. Too many turnovers, too many trips down without a shot. I think we shot 58% from the field, and we still got beat pretty handily at the end.
Rose can't be happy. And frankly I can't comprehend why Rose didn't play Ainge more. Broadhus was *terrible*. Plaisted didn't look like NBA material at all.
I think it's going to be either NIT or NCAA (one game) for the cougars. And they won't be ranked at any point. That's still an achievement. But we are not going to see a BYU that is making noise on the national scene, I'm afraid.

Wow, that's a heck of a lot of conclusions to draw from one baskebtall game, the first of the season, on the road, against a potential #1 seed. Can you give them at least another say 40-80 minutes actually playing basketball before you write them off so summarily?
