I forgot how much BYU's Tyler Haws looks like the zombie from the Progressive commercial. #MarchMadness

BYU has an NCAA leading 1,027 free throw attempts this season. Too bad the Cougars miss so many of them. #BYU

It feels like Oregon is playing so much than BYU, yet it only leads by three. The Ducks lead 15-12 at the under-12. #NCAAMilwaukee

So in this Oregon-BYU game...do we root for Cougars, Ducks, or some type of cancellation? Having a hard time here.

BYU is in serious trouble right now. Haws doesn't take over games on his own (just not his game), so someone else needs to step up big-time.

BYU isn't getting any favorable rolls at the basket. Oregon hasn't left it up to luck.

Also crazy about watching Oregon-BYU... amazing that Eric Mika's eyes are functioning months after DeAndre Kane's "intentional eye assault".

I feel like Oregon is opening the gate to let us back in the game and we are blowing it

Any way BYU players can switch from plain ol' "2 year mission trips" to "2 years of nothing but free throw practice trips"

Ex-Trail Blazers strength and conditioning coach Bobby Medina stopped by press row. “Such a difference to work for great people,” he said.

No offense #BYU can't score I hope @C_Fischerr is working on his 3 pointer this offseason we need you to come in and fill it up next year!!

BYU's worst-shooting games this season: 31% vs Wichita St, 32.8 vs Utah ... Today, 30.0% vs Oregon. (trailing by 10). #ncaaSMG

BYU just can't seem to get over the hump. There's an honor code joke in there somewhere but I don't dare look for it

Biggest quiet stat in Ducks-BYU game: Oregon is 1 for 10 from three.

This is not uncommon vs BYU “@JohnCanzanoBFT: Elgin Cook has 14 points vs. BYU… he had 15 combined points in his last four games. Bam.”

BYU plays defense with the intensity of a bunch of deacons collecting fast offerings #none

Thank goodness there are no #BYU seniors that have to end their career like this. Use this anger for future seasons.

Quit placing blame on the committee for putting the “undeserving” team in. The team earned the bid, then FAILED. #BYU
