BYU needs this win. We played a very good TTU game even until the last 3 mins when TCU had a go to guy, Williams and BYU does not. We really don’t know how to lock down a game when it is crunch time.
TCU is among the weakest teams in the Big 12. Ranked #71…BYU is between 30 and 44 depending on who ranks them.
BYU has got to figure out our rotations…having Egor and Hill on the floor at the same time has really hurt Hall’s production. Saunders and Mag are solidifying our two best defensemen and need 30 mins.
I do like to have Foos and Baker come in and I would love to see Foos get 10 or more touches a game. Especially this TCU game, get inside scoring going to free up the outside long ball.
TCU plays a 6 man rotation.
Their point, Reynolds also leads the team in scoring.
They are stout on defense, top 20 but have not faced many potent teams like BYU. They excel in defending the 3 so go inside to Foos, often. Get their big man, Udeh Jr. in foul trouble and TCU will be toast.
Besides three seniors, TCU is full of Fr. BYU has a much deeper bench.
This will be a game where BYU TCU will be in a close game but TCU can’t stay with BYU’s bench. Much Much Deeper.
Keys to a BYU win
1 go inside to Foos, get their bigs in foul trouble, so TCU has to help out inside.
2 Egor Hall Baker drive and ally ooops to Keba/Foos. Get pooints inside to open up outside shots
3 Hit some 3s but don’t depend on the 3 to win this game.
4 Defend the outside, they can’t beat BYU inside.
BYU gets 70, gets their 1st road win
