Looking forward to Saturday.
Lovering vs. Keita - Edge to Lovering. Better defender, passer and scorer. Doesn't make highlight plays like Keita can but overall a better player.
Ausar vs Catchings - Edge Ausar. Even. Ausar has struggled imo. Catchings isn't the one and done guy people thought he was.
Wahlin vs Saunders - Edge to BYU. Saunders is their most reliable guy imo. Wahlin is coming along, but he doesn't play at Saunders level yet.
Madsen vs Hall - Edge to Utah. Gabe is much more dynamic on offense. Hall is solid and capable of high level play.
Sharavjants vs Demin - Slight edge to BYU. Both are inconsistent. Neither have shot it well to date. Demin comes in with a lot of hype that, so far, has exceeded his actual play.
Bench - Edge BYU. I think their bench is deeper than ours. Traore is a bull inside. Knell and Baker both add scoring firepower. For us, KD has been rounding into form but Mason and Miro have been fading as of late. Keller is solid in the frontcourt and Hunter Erickson is a solid sub in the backcourt.
Coaching - Edge Utah. Craig Smith is getting more out of his roster than BYU's new coach is.
