1. How does BYU handle a hostile crowd? Hoping to see some improvement in this area after they seemed to struggle with the crowd against Providence
2. How does Egor handle ball pressure? Given Houston’s defensive chops, you’ve got to think they will hone in on Egor’s biggest perceived weakness. Would love to see him figure out how to blow by or push through the pressure. Blow by it and burn them by taking it to the hoop or kicking out for a three, or push through and force so much contact the refs have no choice but to call something.
3. Bench production. Didn’t see much out of the bench against ASU other than Fous. Maybe part of it was Richie having a career night and they kept feeding him, but I think we will need Baker and Hall to step up with upperclassman leadership in this game. Maybe even Stewart on key defensive possessions.
What say ye Cougarboard? Am I way off? What am I missing?
