Comments about ‘BYU basketball: Supporting cast stepping up for Cougs’

BYU will beat Wake!

Happy New Year

Suds.....

BYU led Arizona State by five at half. Get your facts straight.

Not having seen the Cougars play this year, I really enjoyed watching the reply of the Tulsa game today. BYU certainly earned that win.

Another columnist made some observations that BYU has a tendency to let a late lead slip out of their hands, and that just about happened at Tulsa. Turnovers, missed FTs, poor clock management,etc.

There's one player who shouldn't even touch the ball except for a rebound. He may one of the least effective foul shooters in the nation. Another player will launch it up with no apparent concern about the time remaining.

If I'm Wake (or any team) I want these guys to handle the ball at the end. From BYU's perspective, there are too many other dependable players on the team that should handle the ball in the last two minutes.

It's likely that Wake will be the favored team this Saturday, but if BYU is in position to win, they have to play smarter, especially at the end.

I've watched BYU play this year and they are solid. They remind me of the great Arizona teams with Steve Kerr before we knew they were a great team. will definately be exciting to watch this year!

Chao Plaistead. After hearing comments from some of the team this year, it isn't hard to recognize that there was a lack of chemistry last year. Now that the "black hole" is gone, it seems the "team" now comes first. This could be a really special year!
