* Have now won 12 straight games (longest streak since 1980)
* Only loss to UConn by two in November
Think they could realistically be 17-1 when they host Arizona Jan 26th

Credit to Utah. They rose to the occasion in a rivalry game. Obviously not BYU’s cleanest game by any means but BYU breaks the Huntsman Center skid.

BYU still has the best big 3 in college basketball and AJ Dybantsa is going to be the #1 pick this summer!! What a time to be a BYU fan!
