BYU Basketball Has Hope. Say "Moo".
The Brigham Young University Cougars Men's Basketball team was going to be a top ten program this season. Then, injuries.
First, it was a guy that I do not know his name or much of his story. I will look that up. He was new to the school.
Then, fifth year senior Dawson Baker, kind of the perfect sixth man off the bench. 6'5", a good shooter, tough, versatile, experienced. Then: Richie Saunders. Ugh. He was part of the big motor of the offense and the defense. Even though they struggled for a bit with him playing healthy prior to his gut wrenching injury around Valentine's, man do they miss his abilities and heart.
Thus the Cougs were getting punked by Cinncy and UCF, and others. They rallied to beat a tough Texas Tech squad (minus their injured guy Toppin). In Provo, where the recently better BearCats had handled the Cougars.
We needed guys to step up. We needed Kennard Davis, among others like Mboup and Ahmed, and of course Keita and Kostic or Boskovic or Diomande. Whoever. Mrus? Not enough defense.
Well, then I learned that they call him "Moo". Two nights ago versus Kansas State. Moo!
Yes, not a canard or kennard! We got Moo. Davis has been playing better, getting more shots, rebounds, being who we hope he might be. The big guys have been doing better... Kadim or Khadeem is fun to see play with his vigor.
No Pickens, Baker, or Saunders? We shall see...
March Madness.
Oh, yeah. We got Dybantsa and Wright.
