ParticipantA loss going into the tournaments is not a bad thing. It keeps you from getting cocky, for sure and brings focus.
I always say I went to grad school so I could have two teams in the tournament. Now, with SDSU coming along, I have three. Haven’t been to a game this season, but have followed them and hoped for them to do well since Fisher was hired. Getting past the 1st round would be a great thing.

ParticipantSDSU may have lost the game, but it gets the last laugh…
BYU basketball center Brandon Davies was kicked off the team today for violating the school’s honor code:
“According to the Salt Lake Tribune, the forward was dismissed from the No. 3 Cougars for the rest of the season for engaging in sexual relations with his girlfriend. Davies admitted the relations, resulting in his dismissal, the paper reports.”

ParticipantI actually feel bad for making mormon jokes earlier in the thread. Yes, it’s hard to understand a college that doesn’t allow caffiene, tobacco, facial hair, alcohol or sex. But it doesn’t mean I don’t respect them, they did what few colleges ever do, they sacrificed sports success for prinicples. I wouldn’t survive a week at BYU, my college days started and ended with violating most of their codes, in fact, my fondest memories were the days I broke them all. Since the age of 17, I have never made it through a single day without doing at least one of the things that would get me kicked out of BYU. But that doesn’t make either of us right or wrong.
They got killed by and inferior team at home tonight, the best player in the college game right now (Jimmer), went 1 for 9 from the three point line. He’s obviously affected because I think he’s probably good for 3 of 9 from the half court line on any other night.
But the fact remains, Brandon Davies grew up in Provo, Utah. This was not foriegn to him. He had other opportunities but he accepted the scholarship and the rules that came with it. We have a hard time seeing what the big deal is because probably 99% of us had sex with their girlfriends or boyfriends at one time in their lives as adults. But we didn’t willingly agree that we wouldn’t. It’s the same as buying a house in a neighborhood with a strict HOA then painting your house pink and yellow and getting sued. It’s not a crime to do that, you aren’t hurting anyone, but it’s your fault for buying into an HOA. However, to further the analogy, no HOA would make you change the color of your house if it was bringing in millions of dollars for the HOA and the neighbors. BYU just did that. Respect it even if you don’t agree with it.
I’m an Aztec Alum, so I should feel good about this but I don’t. It’s unfortunate for the player, the BYU team, but it’s also unfortunate for the Aztecs and their fans. We wanted to meet them in the conference tourney and the national tourney, we wanted to beat them at their best, to exercise our demons. We probably will beat them now, but it won’t feel the same. If SDSU isn’t playing BYU, I’ll root for BYU. Because if it’s not us, then I want ot to be them, especially now. Both teams represent the opposite of what’s wrong with college sports today.
