best part of the OT. Spreads these games out more. They were both under 1:30 to go...now we should have at least 10 minutes of gametime separating them.

Jimmer somewhat choked it away with bad shot selection tonight.

I dont know if Id say that. I mean, thats what hes done ALL year. Hard to fault him for selection when that is the offense and he has been doing it for 4 years.

You apparently never watched Jeremy Hazell play last season.

The sad thing is by going 11/31 tonight he still shot 6% higher than the rest of the team combined.

Gators really matched anything BYU could do, but exploited the big advantage they had.

Boynton really did a nice job on Jimmer.

When you go 3-17 from three, it's a choke.

I'd call it being off. The shots that usually go in for Jimmer were not....simple is that.

Credit to UF also, they had a great gameplan.

When you happen to be incredibly off in the biggest game of your life, it's a choke.

I don't see how people are calling this a choke...ridiculous.

Jimmer lost his legs in the 2nd half. Shots coming up short. If id say anything, he probably took too many shots.

When you aren't shooting threes well, continuing to take them(17 of them) is bad shot selection...

On how many shots?

No one is arguing his teammates could have carried it, but he had a real chance to win this game for them, and he was either incapable, or scared, to take the ball to the basket. Instead he settled for deep threes that weren't falling for him all night.

you said he choked based on shot selection...as if he hasnt been taking them all year. It was no different than any other game all season, he just missed. You can argue he choked by poor shooting, but not because he was taking bad shots or forcing anything.

Great game as expected. Tyus had a career game. Parsons had 16pts., 9 reb. KB played great defense. Billy coached a good game.

Fair enough, he choked because he continued to chuck up threes he had no chance of making when his team needed points the most.

Poor shooting does not equal choking, jesus I wonder if some of you have ever touched a basketball in your lives.

BYU lives and dies with Jimmer. They have nothing else!
