BYU playing exhibitions in Spain
 

So far BYU is 2-0 with both wins not close (95-74 and 75-52). I looked up the names of the teams they've played and the first one was a Spanish college team. The one they just beat today is a pro team that has a couple of US former college players and a bunch of international players. Who knows what level of pro ball it is, but if you played college ball in the US you'd have to at least be somewhat decent to draw a check to play in Europe. Nebraska is doing the same tour this year and only beat BYU's opponent from today by 3 points last week. The encouraging thing so far is seeing BYU getting a lot more scoring and good play from the bigs. We should be better this year.

Yesterday's box score:

The team doesn't appear to be able to get much post production.

They got great production from the post in the first game. Austin didn't play much in game two. Aytes was held out probably so he wouldn't play on back to back nights coming off his injury from last year. Davis still had 10 points. Kaufusi still got 12 rebounds in game 2 and only 2 fouls in 28 minutes, which is very encouraging. Who knows what they're trying to work on from game to game. Maybe knowing Aytes wasn't going to play led to playing differently in the second game.

Game 1's numbers from the bigs:
Davis: 12 points -- 6/11, 8 rebounds
Austin: 9 points -- 3/4, 13 rebounds
Aytes: 15 points -- 4/7 from field, 7/9 from line, 6 rebounds
Kaufusi: 3 points, 9 rebounds

I did not read the first game stats, and have since learned Aytes was held out as a precaution because they don't want him playing in back to back games.

If Davis and Aytes can be consistent, then point production will be improved.
