BYU right now is in the driver's seat to get to the tourney. It hasn't happened in a few years. If I'm Baxter, you get four chances to make the tourney in your life and I would never pass up on any of them.
Also, as much as I love what Kolby Lee has done this year, there are some teams and players where his style just doesn't work in our favor. Saint Mary's killed us with quicker athletic big men and Lee was kind of fish out of water. Not saying this is every game but it would be nice to have Baxter that we can switch out strictly for matchups. I think it would be that last missing piece the team needs if they want to make a run.
