Head coach Kevin Young believes the deep rotation makes it difficult for opponents to game plan against, which opens up opportunities for guys like Dawson Baker and Mihalo Boskovic on any given night.
Nights like this one are a reminder the Marriott Center is one of the elite venues in college basketball. It's been this way for years, but it's fun to see it come to life on a national stage.
BYU guard Egor Demin has been playing some of his best basketball of the season during the past seven games. He had eight assists and only two turnovers against Kansas State.
There is an argument to be made that Dallin Hall needs to handle the ball more as the primary ball handler. His decision-making as a point guard is the best on the team currently.
Kanon Catchings has a unique ability to make difficult shots. On several occasions, he bailed out the BYU offense. What a performance in front his family, which included WNBA great Tamika Catchings.
Dallin Hall scored a season-high 14 points in the win. His emotion after making baskets, and buckets from teammates, was reminiscent of Hall at his best last season.
Hall was one of the heroes in a road win last season against Kansas. He's a high-level college player and he'll need to regain form if this team wants to make noise in conference play.
Jay Hill's defense deserved to win this game. But when four trips to the red-zone result in only six points, it was unlikely that BYU would come out on top.
There is an impressive amount of firepower on this team. Nearly every player he played is capable of leading the team in scoring. Dawson Baker led the Cougars with 22 points.
