BYU had 3 starters with 4 fouls and were still able to pull off a comeback in a place no team has won all year. If they can go deep in the Big 12 tourney, they deserve a 5 seed at least.
Not a fan of either team so this is non biased but most of the 2nd half it looked like the refs lifes were on the line to get kansas a win… ruining college basketball fr. Byu still winning is crazy.
I'm pretty biased, having been to a handful of BYU home games this season. It really, really feels like there is something going on with the refs. I hope I'm just super-biased and wrong, because the calls have seemed one-sided even in wins like UCF and - to a lesser degree - Baylor. One game in particular felt like the refs brought the opposing team back into the game in the second half... I'm pretty sure it was Kansas St.

Kansas hasn't been as good this year. So not surprising. BYU is a good team. But it's crazy to think bill self has only like like 17 home games in 21 years?? Is that true?!
Yea that's his 18th home lost. As a kansas fan he did a bad job of constructing this team and he knows it. I hope to win one game in March and call it a season.
I was shocked when they showed that. He lost just once at home when he was with us in his 3 years in Champaign. Self at home is a cheatcode but not tonight.

ESPN really needs to get some capable audio engineers. Watched the game, and it drove me nuts how often the audio dropped. Seemed like every time they put up a graphic' bye bye announcers.
The refs in this game should be sanctioned! There were at least 5 calls they missed when Kansas fouled a BYU player, but then they called the most ridiculous crap on the cougars! Home cookin or they wanted to cover their bets. The better team that night won anyway!
I’m a lifelong byu fan live by the three die by the three is a tough way to win in tournaments. All it takes is one off shooting night and you’re going home
This Kansas team has been making me pull my hair out this year. I hope we get it together during the tournament but I can’t see it. We mess up a lot and lose weekly almost it feels like.
If there was ever a year to beat up on my Jayhawks this would be the year. So go ahead and let out all of your hatred and get your Ws in now folks, they’re all yours, you’ve earned ‘em but mark my words, we know what our mistakes are and we know to fix them and we will fix them. We’re willing to wait till then good luck 👍
Gee, I wonder what the shot selection will be? 3 or 3. Might as well of watched the NBA All Star 3 point competition. When a team is dropping 3’s all game like that, they’ll beat anybody. When it dries up (and it always does eventually), they’ll be the victim of a 30 point blowout to a more complete inside out game.
BYU played well, but Kansas is the most overrated team this year. Highest ranked team with 7 losses and they’ve lost FIVE TIMES to unranked opponents, getting absolutely blown out sometimes like their 79 - 50 loss to Texas Tech and losing to West Virginia, a team that is 9 - 19 doesn’t bode well for them making it deep in the tournament, and definitely isn’t deserving of a very high seed.
Because BYU was playing so close to the "Garden of Eden"....their magical underwear were sent into 3-point mode! The more Mark Pope does well, the more Kentucky fans start to wonder if he could be the Calipari replacement somewhere down the road.
Considering they don't wear their garments while playing sports and that several of the starters aren't even members of the Church of Jesus Christ, I'm not sure that helped them. But one thing you did get right, Pope is eventually gonna land at Kentucky.
