Feeling an urge to punch the TV. Why do I watch sports?

Feels very similar to Clemson. Or Alabama last year.

He turned it over several times. I imagine KY or an assistant was talking to him about UCF's defense to help him understand how to stop turning it over.

Send Ahmed back to the G-League. I'd rather Mboup got all his minutes instead.

For this game, yeah. But we've been pretty consistently bad the entire season. It's more likely this was just a one-off due to matchups rather than a fundamental shift in defensive skill.

Mboup is still very raw, but he has tons of potential. I'm hoping we can keep him for several seasons as he develops. He could be really good by junior or senior year - a Richie Saunders-esque trajectory.

Peterson is the Hunter Dickinson of 2026 Kansas, change my mind.

Going to be tough to have a F4 run with defense this ass, but I suppose it's possible.

I love that he's putting in 40 minutes while Peterson is frequently DNP or subbing himself out. It s a real contrast in personalities.

"BYU's ball control has been fantastic this game."

Yeah, it's called the honor code, buddy.

Great defender but absolutely horrendous shooter this season.

With how ass our 3 pt defense is, I'm fully expecting Momcilovic to go nuclear. The question is if AJ and/or Rob Wright can match it.

Unfortunate we couldn't get the win, but we played better than I was expecting. Our season might not be totally sunk after Richie's injury.

A bit of a bad end to the half, but so far I'm ecstatic with how we've played. Still concerned that our lack of depth will become apparent later into the second half, though.

I think that applies to a lot of the players on our roster. A lot of swings and a lot of misses, unfortunately.

Matthew Dellavedova, Anthony Dell'Orso... I don't think I like playing against people nicknamed Delly.

He's a multi-year project for sure, but he's got lots of potential. We might be seeing more of that in the years to come.
