Rebounding may be the deciding factor in this game. Utah state boasts FIVE players all taller than any eligible player on BYU's roster. Two 6'10" forwards, two 7'0" centers and one 7'2" center. With the return of Queta- who is a likely NBA player, things will be tough on BYU inside.
Still, even with the big guys, Sam Merrill is the leader of Utah State and we need to keep him from getting hot.
BYU has shown it can compete with tall teams, but after two blowout wins, we will be in for a real fight on Saturday. It will be a BIG win for our NCAA resume if we can pull it off. Go Cougs!
