BYUtv sportscaster Spencer Linton joins Dave McCann and Brian Logan to share behind-the-scenes insights from BYU’s NCAA Tournament run, break down the upcoming Sweet 16 showdown with Alabama, and preview the BYU Football Alumni Game airing Friday night on BYUtv. Linton was on the ground in Denver for BYU’s victories over VCU and No. 3 seed Wisconsin, and he describes the electric atmosphere at Ball Arena—highlighting the confidence of BYU players and coaches leading into the Wisconsin game, as well as the sea of royal blue fans that helped energize the Cougars in both games. Spencer reflects on the surreal moment when BYU secured its first Sweet 16 berth since 2011, describing it as "delirium" and one of the most emotional celebrations he’s witnessed. He also shares fun insights about Richie Saunders’ NIL potential tied to his family’s invention of tater tots, sparking a discussion about how BYU’s rising national profile is opening the door for quirky but impactful branding opportunities. Linton then outlines BYU Sports Nation’s extensive coverage of the Sweet 16 in Newark, including live shows featuring guests like Jay Bilas and Sean Farnham, interviews with coaches and players, and on-site access leading up to Thursday’s tipoff. He reveals his travel plans for a whirlwind week—covering the game in New Jersey, flying back to Utah to help broadcast Friday night’s BYU Alumni Football Game, and possibly flying back east again for an Elite Eight matchup. The segment ends with a round of Over/Under predictions for the Alumni Game, including: Over 40 total points? ✅ Yes Over 20 combined completions? ✅ Barely Over 2 injuries (game or delayed)? ✅ Sadly, yes Over 1 TD catch for Bryan Kehl? ❌ No Over 2 TDs for Aleva Hifo? ❌ Under Linton also names Jacob Robinson as the most impressive player at Big 12 Pro Day, highlighting his improved speed and strength, while confirming that Darius Lassiter will not return to BYU next season due to NCAA eligibility hurdles. The conversation wraps with laughter, reflection, and appreciation for this exciting and historic moment in BYU sports. #BYUHoops #Sweet16 #MarchMadness #GoCougs #SpencerLinton #BYUSports #BYUBasketball #BYUFootball #AlumniGame #BYUTV #LDS #BYU
