For the first time since 2011, BYU is headed to the Sweet 16 by way of taking down Wisconsin.
A big Big 10 loss for a 3 seed Wisconsin as BYU gets the win in a 9189 buzzer beater with all the drama, Marcus, this game, frankly, was everything we thought it was gonna be more.
So many fireworks.
This is an offensive slugfest.
Richie Richan is one of the most improved players in the country, came to deliver.
I love BYU driving and kick, but take your hats off to Wisconsin, they really came to play.
John Toje with 37 points and, uh, you know, 58 points from the guards, BYU don’t guard it, but they can score.
Yeah, you’re right.
They may not guard it, but they also got guys that feel like they’ve been together.
We talk a lot about mid-majors and majors and, and guys that have played together.
BYU has that channel of guys that feel like they played together for a second, guys that are a little older, and that experience seemed to come together at the end.
Yes, it did.
And one of the best things about BYU, they have a deep bench, right?
They play fast, they play together.
And once the ball goes through the net, they get it out so fast.
Everybody’s very confident and they trust their guys, man.
9189 is the victory BYU moves on.
