Who would have expected Anson Winder to lead all scorers for BYU and not miss a free throw? Contributions all around. They finally look like a team that wants to win.
Kyle Collinsworth was also huge this game. He's starting to fulfill my early season predictions.
So I guess Lunardi has BYU as among the last 4 in. No guarantees. They need to win out in conference. I think they also probably need to get to the title game of the tourney (long odds on that given BYU's history in conference tourneys).

Good win.
Rose is showing some savvy in shuffling his line up. Letting Sharpe get the early fouls to save Mika worked well.
Maybe you've changed your position on Winder's ability to contribute and to defend?
It was great that Winder went 10 for 10 from the FT line.
