Figured id start the thread. Will be a tough road environment, BYU currently favored by 4.5. Winner goes to MSG.

What a douchey comment

Provo's at only 4,500 feet. Plenty of oxygen there.

Biggest question is whether the shots drop. Last home game for BYU seniors. I am sure they will be fired up and read to roll. Considering both programs like to get up and down the floor, they could run CU out of the gym if CU's shots aren't dropping.

There's no way you like the Big East

Look at the advantage in the NBA. The 2 teams historically with the biggest home court advantage- Utah and Denver. The league average in the NBA is 3.2 points(numbers look like thru 2013). Denver's advantage 5.5 points per game. Utah's- 6.2 points per game.

And look at this years NBA standings...
Utah is 22-13 at home, but 12-23 on the road.
Denver is 16-19 at home, but 13-23 on the road.

So to act like altitude isn't a big deal is crazy. And I don't think it's a question that impacted Seton Hall.

Or vice-versa when CU puts some defense on the Cougs and BYU's shots aren't dropping.

If no d is played and the game turns into a track meet: 1st to 80 / 1st to 90... My money is on Creighton.

going to be tough game. Zierdan out, Malik Albert ( backup pt guard) out, and Mo Watson still has nagging groin injury. Short on ball handlers to push the offense.

BYU students camped out to get into the arena for an NIT game? Whoa.

Jays trail by 1 at half. Not often that a TV guy calls it straight, but Franschilla basically said Creighton is getting hosed by the refs.
