BYU is a well balanced team with 6 guys averaging in double figures and two more that are close. They're deep with 11 guys in double figure minutes. On paper you'd look at Jaxson Robinson at 16ppg and figure he's the guy to stop but I'd say it's actually Spencer Johnson you need to key on as he's the facilitator. He's a 6'5 guard averaging 10ppg, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. I would think that John Newman will get the Spencer Johnson assigment for this one.
This is going to be a tall task for the Bearcats as the Cougars are undefeated at home this season. ESPN Predictor gives UC a 18% to win. No line has been set yet.
