Bruce Branch has impressed me so much in the 3 preseason games. His playmaking ability could give this offseason an extra gear. Yesterday he had 2 alley oops to Khadim Mboup in PNRs. -Long Beach State: 20 points -Nebraska: 15 points, 5 assists -UNLV: 14 points, 8 assists

BYU hoops finishes its preseason slate 3-0. -W vs Long Beach State, 102-53 -W vs Nebraska, 72-61 -W at UNLV, 89-77 I give some of my takeaways from BYU's 89-77 win today. vanquishthefoe.com/byu-baske…

Bear checked into a run play on 3 & 6

UCF had momentum since like the second quarter. BYU lost in the ultimate letdown spot and didn’t play well enough. The season of letdown losses by top teams continues. Georgia to Auburn, Ole Miss to Florida, now BYU to UCF.

This is gonna be 31-30 and UCF has a 2-point conversion attempt for the game
