Might need some Cole Henry.

Altitude didn't bother us too much against Colorado in Boulder a couple of years ago. Yes, different team now than it was back then, and who knows with Austin, but it might not be a big issue in the end.

7 of the 10 guys that played in that game are still on the team lol.

Pretty sure Noah Carter was a situational rotation player, if that, and Bowen Born wasn't even on the roster yet, so my point still stands.

I also specifically wrote that it might not be a big issue in the end.

One thing about byu is the campus is beautiful!! I traveled with the football team back in 08-09 season and I’ve personally never been to a more scenic football stadium in my life.

with regards to basketball I think we can win this one. As always elevation and how we deal with it could be a factor but these guys are all in good shape.

I agree. BYU and Provo are very nice. I have been to three football games there…

meh. casual basketball fans get their b-ball fix watching the NCAA tournament games.
my guess is it is mostly just those who already have some connection to the teams that are playing that bother watching the few NIT games that are shown on cable.

Bettors too. They will bet on anything.

We're 5.5 dogs. Not surprised we're underdogs, but I thought the SLU win would get us within one possession. I don't think the players know they're not supposed to win. Tough environment due to elevation.

Opened at 6, down to 5, hopefully the smart money is on us!

[QCPanther05]

How many fans do you suppose we have in Provo? Two?

[skydog0784]

Another hot start!

Crack broadcast team there, jeez.

[skydog0784]

60% from 3 point land is a good sign. It's early but so far, so good....

I’m listening to Rima. He only has a few games left.

We def weren't better on the road in conference, but we have been outside of it for sure.

Damn 9-4 on the road is tuff tho.
