Jimmer Fredette is not walking through that door!

Neither is Danny Ainge. But this kid essentially hitting half of his threes certainly is worth noting.

I hope everyone is enjoying this Christmas day. This is your friendly reminder that the game starts in 25 minutes.

Don’t look good at all early.

Nope. Very sloppy. Could get ugly.

We can't create any separation on offense.

BYU Gameplan is simple: faceguard Darius, make someone else beat us.

Feed Robinson.

Rode is getting wrecked by 45. Can’t keep him off of the offensive boards.

Shiloh made up for terrible close out with strong and-1.

BYU sitting on Darius’ left. Stanford didn’t do that at all. I don’t have metrics, but it seems to my gut he goes left a lot. I never noticed Stanford taking that away though.

Why 45 isn’t going back up is a complete mystery to me

Good response. Flames up 23-21.

Stop me if you’ve heard this before……..
Free throws

Just a freshman. He is tough.

Which is even more puzzling. Freshman are too stupid NOT to shoot from under the basket

45 is a beast.

Up 33-32 at the break.

Thank goodness BYU can’t hit three’s.

45 is the freshman we all thought Abii would be.

Abii has slimmed down/toned up in the off season

Definitely brings us a different dimension. Just need him to take a little better care of the ball, but he needs to be out there more.

I feel I missed an opportunity by not making some popcorn at halftime
