Your team is better, had better players and deserved to win. Make some noise in the Tourney now.
Even if a better team defeats one's favorite team, it never feels good. Unfortunately for BYU, we never found a good rhythm this year, due to injuries such as the untimely injury at the end of the season to Hartsock.
Crowder is the best player BYU's seen this year, including those from Baylor. Losing, even if deserved, is no fun.
Your guys played us really tough. There's definitely no quit in your team.
I don't like sending teams home when I don't hate them. It's easy to root for BYU and I wish you guys the best next season! With the determination your boys showed this week I know that they'll continue to create their own luck :)
Thanks for the kind words. Your Cougars sure fight and that you should be proud of. This game was still in doubt with about 5:00 to go. That final score is not indicative of the game overall.
I actually liked that BYU team and, unfortunately, it seemed to me that they came out flat. Travel fatigue? Maybe.
Heck of a game. You were spot on on your assessment of your team. Hartsock picking up his 3rd in the first half was the key moment.
Yeah, I am glad that your big had foul trouble. He was a beast around the basket.
Thanks for the kind words.

Agree. Even though the lead was between 6 and 19 almost the entire game, I never felt comfortable until the last 2 minutes. No quit in BYU, but fortunately we answered each of their runs.
Whoever wrote this comment has an enormous amount of class. I have a newfound respect for BYU if you're indicative of the kind of grad your college produces.
Thanks for the thoughts and we're now 1 down, 5 to go.
Best of luck for next year. Not sure I want to see you guys because your team is well coached and frankly good.
I agree. The BYU posters have been very classy. Maybe the best of any team I can remember. I think I can learn how to lose the right way as a fan from them.
Thanks Archaea and good luck to BYU next season. It was a tough game no doubt and there were games we played this year we we would have fallen to you guys. Certainly deserved much better than a 14 seed, and no question you belonged in the dance.
Carlino is going to be trouble for teams for the next 3 years.

Very classy.
Do your fan base a favor and create a better message board than any BYU has.

+1
As for your last sentence, we have another thread tearing into our PG ... after a win. In other games, tear into other players. Maybe some could learn from Archaea how to win the right way, much less lose the right way!
Thank you for the kind words.
If BYU had sufficient time to rest and game plan, it may have been a different result.
