BYU is quite literally "fighting Jimmers."  Compulsory moral codes: better than millions of years of evolution when it comes to deciding where your wang can go.

Can't think about BYU hoops without thinking about how Jake locked down Jimmer in OKC. I almost died driving thru a snowstorm to get there but it was worth it. Enjoyed watching the Morii  and Xavier Henry get eliminated from the torn-a-ment right before the Cats took the court.

Do the Cats have a chance tonight? When was the last time we tipped off this late?

I don’t like our chances due to what is rapidly becoming known worldwide as the JAYHAWK JINX and in case you’ve been living under a rock the JAYHAWK JINX is the fact that no bigXII team this season has beat ku and then gone on to win their next game. Has.Not.Happened.Periot.

This JAYHAWK JINX is being likened — and I think rightly so — to the sports illustrated cover jinx

Have watched the Soakers several times this year. They all look gross. They whine a lot. They have a big that sets a lot of moving screens.  They are pretty good. They play a little physical. If we bring our good game, no reason we can’t win. If we don’t, woof.

Watched the BYU/OU game Tuesday to. Most boring game ever. Down six with about six with about six to play, soak aggies started fouling every OU possession with the idea they'd trade 2 for a trey. They didn't.

You can simply choose to not be upset because the turnovers are predictable and they still always play hard. But if I were upset I would just not watch like I said

There are no guaranteed wins but also no guaranteed losses except maybe at Kansas and Texas but also I don't watch non-ksu games so who knows.

 It's just a really hard conference and I don't think anyone can circle guaranteed wins in a hard conference

Title: Re: Fighting Jimmers
Post by: wetwillie on February 11, 2024, 09:54:27 AM
Yea TO's have to be dropped and FT rate has to be increased.  Not sure how to accomplish that with the skill level of the current team but maybe Tang has some magic sauce to do it.

We don’t have the line up to increase FT, imo.

Earlier this year, in a postgame, Tang had a throwaway comment about running plays to draw fouls for TP.  I think a decent part of our offensive strategy, at least for the first 6-7 conf games, was all about TP trying to get to the line. That was when he was constantly taking 2-3 dribble drives and immediately backing up into his defender all the time.

What I am getting at is that it seems that FT rate was a primary consideration for a while there and the refs just aren’t having it.  We need more dynamic athletes as ball handlers to increase our FT rate.

They were correct calls by the book. The book is pussified tho.

The rulebook allows for interpretation when assessing flagrant fouls. This crew chose to ignore intent, that's their prerogative and probably the best thing right now given the scrutiny on Big 12 officiating.
