#BYU
LB Ben Bywater announced per his instagram that he is coming back for one more year.
This is really good for
#BYUFootball
and Jay Hill’s defense.
Bywater has played five seasons at BYU, starting in 24 games while playing in 36.
Bywater led BYU is tackles with 98 (31
#BYU
Jaxson Robinson didn’t attempt a shot in the last 5:09 of the game….THAT CAN NOT HAPPEN!!!!!
How does that happen?
That makes no sense to me when Jax had 25 points, shooting 53% from the field, and 45% percent from 3-point range.

The same thing that happened to BYU against Utah is the same thing that happened last year when they played Gonzaga and St. Mary’s at the Marriott Center.
Two words…. free throws.
In all three of those games BYU shot less than 60% from the charity stripe.
They are free.
Yeah I’ll say it.
#Baylor
guard Miro Little definitely has some acting skills. Gets up off the court, smiles while sticking his tongue out.
Pretty sure looks hurt.
Basketball is turning into soccer. Just lay on the ground after a foul, and it will get upgraded to a flagrant.

I really don’t like to blame refs for their officiating. I have to say it though, there have been some questionable calls in the first half. Not a flop on Spencer Johnson, then to wait for BYU to secure the rebound. Ball call ref.

Think it’s pretty ridiculous that you’re going to make a student section change their shirts..“Horns Down” isn’t malicious at all. The NCAA, fans, coaches and players need to get out of their feelings. It’s taking away from the atmosphere of college athletics. End of discussion.
