FIRST-HALF MVP
JULIE SULLIVAN, SENIOR, GUARD: Yes, the Cougars can — and do — ride the coattails of a different player each game. But BYU plays its best with Sullivan on the court. Offensively, she sets the rhythm, directs the offense, distributes the ball (4.1 assists a game) and drives and scores when necessary (9.6 ppg — third-best average on the team). Defensively, she leads the team in steals (22) and blocks (6) and is fifth in rebound (3.2 rpg).

FOR BYU TO CONTEND . . .
BYU needs to continue to win at home (7-1 in preseason) and become just as effective on the road (only 1-3 this season). Picked No. 5 in the preseason Mountain West poll after last year's struggles, the Cougars have a blend of just about everything — experience, youth, physical inside players, quickness and shooting on the perimeter. They are most effective when they rebound, run and get everyone involved in an inside-out offensive attack.
