BYU's pattern against better teams has been a slow tempo in the first half, followed by a faster tempo in the second half.
I'm going to be very curious if the BYU bigs will be able to play D against the Utah big that will be a one-and-done.
Also curious how effective BYU's small-ball lineup will be. Collinsworth, Haws, Fischer, Winder + 1 big.
I'm old enough now to expect that BYU will underperform against Utah. Which if it happens here could be a blowout loss.
