BYU basketball: Supporting cast stepping up for Cougs
5 comments | Read story
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.
