This is a very good Utah team, but they do have some holes and can be beaten. They have a lot of talented players but they do show a tendency to struggle putting the ball in the basket at times. They will play very hard on defense and have excellent athleticism that will create trouble for BYU. They protect the basketball and rebound well, but are a young team that has some mental lapses at times. Against Wichita State, they were dreadful from the free throw line. Buckle up, Cougar fans. This is going to be a real battle, but it’s a battle that I think BYU can handle.
