Good grief, I hope people evaluate their strategies better than that in the future. I think we can safely say we’re finally past the short sighted decision making that led to the downfall of that season and the several after it. We finally have decision makers in place with a strong long term vision for this team & program and the institutional support to execute that vision.

That UK win was great and the Aces were the talk of the town. Chik Fil A was giving out free chicken sandwiches all day and the line was out the door -- I remember getting there a little late and the manager came out to the car and said they were out of chicken, then handed me coupons for a free sandwich.
Let's get that vibe going again.

2 players from American Fork, UT on BYU’s roster. Spencer Johnson and Trey Stewart. Johnson graduated HS in 2016 and Stewart was Tanner Cuff’s teammate.

Probably still is the case, the Mormon kids all took a year or two off for their missionary work before enrolling in college. That often led to them having an older roster. Before the Portal and the free dole-out years that NCAA finds necessary, that was sometimes an important difference in maturity. Now, as we know, high school kids coming into a program are at a clear disadvantage.

Something just came to mind to me. There is a very peculiar commonality for this game to another game we had. Four years ago, we beat UK in their barn after they had beat Valley teams the last few years before. (We were huge underdogs) Now, we play BYU, in their barn, after they have beaten a Calley team the last couple of years. (We are huge underdogs) Could the “shocker be coming again? Screw keeping it close. Let’s just win the damn game. From your post to God's ears! Go Aces!

Seeing those pics of the Marriott Center, looks like a great set-up for basketball for fans and players.

When you look at BYU games/ scores played so far, it's scary. They've not just beaten up a bunch of cupcakes. No matter what happens we're no worse than 7-2 after tonight.

This graphic has me worried considering how awful our 3 Pt defense has been. It’s going to take a very off night from 3 for us to have any chance in this game
