+8 seems high. 

I'm not buying BYU is that good.

Then again, I don't think we're quite as good as the OU game indicated. 

Yeah well OU sucks so that explains that part

+8 is too high but if BYU shoots well from 3 they could win by 30. Would not bet this game.

We did also beat Baylor.

They haven't shot that great in Big 12 play. We aren't a great 3 point defense, but that was before Weaver started getting more playing time. 

I will for sure take the points and am tempted to take the ML on this one

It'd be a great W

Baylor was overrated and that was at home. 

We played there one year. In prehistoric times, the Marriott Center was the largest gym in the country

seating about 20k. The benches were below the court and the gym was one level sloping

slowly away from the court. There were about 13k in attendance and it was relatively quiet

because of the gym's configuration. Supposedly tomorrow is a sellout so it will be loud.

 

 

 

They run a really cool offense with a number of advanced actions/sets. Really sucks when it's working at 100% efficiency and they score 48 on you in the first half.

With Mitchell, Weaver and Hunter playing great and Disu being outstanding, I like our chances to win.

BYU's fate will rest with their 3 point shooting (and our 3 point D)... they jack up a crazy amount of 3's.  On average, I think their players are a little slower and a little less athletic across the board.  They are probably more technically sound.

historically this type of game involves the home team cougars going on some sort of first half 10-0, 12-2 type run in 2:00 of game time, with the outcome of the game dependent on how we respond. as show by the chart that i posted in the season thread, Texas is one of the most volatile teams in the country, prone to both giving up as well as going on 10+ point streaks. as long as we respond to any early scoring barrage they give us, i tend to think that we’ll cover the spread and be playing with a chance to win late. that said, this feels to me like it’s either a nail biter or a blow out. bout to find out. 

This feels like a letdown spot after two big wins and Houston coming to town Monday. But I’ve been wrong before.

100% depends on what team shows up.  The team from the last 2 games or the team from the first 4 Big 12 games.

Are you suggesting they are more like coaches out there on the court? The scrappy gym rat/lunch pail type of athletes?

What a choke job by Florida

I took Ga +8. That bet looked like shit the entire game. They were down 21 with like 12 minutes to go. Gators  will  probably win by 9 in OT.

Everything at the rim for them. Need to be better there.

Second push in the back when we’re trying to rebound.

Why is Disu guarding that mongoloid 30 feet from the basket

That's not very PC of you, bro. This is a wholesome, family friendly environment so maybe you should cut it the fuck out and take your ass to church in the morning and repent for your sins.

Killing it from three. Disu, Hunter Horton

Thank God. Because it’s a layup fest on the other end.

30 is pushing our guys in the back on every rebound 

Exactly with no calls.

 

 

Also looks like we're taking away the 3 as best we can and they are attacking inside

We'll get addicted to the 3, start to fade, and these fuckers will close the gap.

Good idea, but shedrick not on the same page. 

So... We going to force BYU to do anything but layups?

Good idea, but shedrick not on the same page. 

Not to mention he’s hobbled by the back and doesn’t seem to have the spring or speed he’s had early in the season

Horton, Horton, the turnover machine!

Turnovers and then turnovers. Not turnovers. Turnovers.
