How many personalities has he had?

I admire the stick to it-ness but wonder what his therapist has to say about it each week.

Time to shut up now. Waiting………..

He is somewhat amusing, but mods should limit him to one post per thread.

Honestly the ban is probably coming

This has the recipe of a disaster for us: traveling two time zones to play at 10pm against a school with a bunch of lanky guys who can drain the three. I can’t remember the last time this worked out well for us.

I feel like this is a can't lose game. All upside and no downside. Byu is top 5 in basically every good metric. Losing on the road to them won't hurt at all, but winning would be enormous.

The 3 home games in the next 6 are kind of the opposite. They need to get at least 2 of them... but tonight feels like a house money game to me

I agree Mark. I said in another thread if we could go 2-3 at minimum in this five game opening stretch including taking 2 of 3 at home, I'd feel pretty good. That said, I just don't want to get blown out tonight. Keep it competitive and we hang around late in the game...we shall see.

I lost my faith in this team.
I’d be ecstatic with 2-3 in these 5.

I am very interested in seeing what game plan (Not just the starters and substitution patterns - which I am also interested in) Wes institutes to improve our chances to win this game and others. BYU has excellent team 2pt and 3pt FG%. What is the plan?

Why?
3-4 posts a game is not much

Starting lineup...

IDK, I like watching his neg rep climb. Plus, it's the only way you can see a "Bearcats#1" comment.

Watching tip off on ESPN+ until TT/Texas game ends. Packed house!

Missed Thomas trey LOL.

Skillings get a long pass, lays it in with a foul!

3-2 UC

Little Roy Williams break there for the and 1 by Skillings.

Skillings with a long trey miss! BYU answers with a trey.

5-3 BYU

BYU two early fouls.

Simas hits two free throws.5-5

Skillings with his Jekyll and Hyde game thus far. Out of control, hero ball.
8-5 BYU

I can't stand Vik up top. It's silly.

Sloppy first session there. Gotta chill out.

Byu has taken 6 threes already. They are going to fire them up

Microcosm of his game. Great rebound out of his area, nice move to the basket, great energy, terrible shot selection, forces things that aren't there, beat on D.

Yep. His effort at times overwhelms his strengths and basketball IQ.
