1) It's not the type to struggle with the pesky Colbey Rosses of the WCC. Better athleticism and seasoning at the 2-4 that can handle the switches. The matchup at that spot is in BYU's favor now.
2) Having more fans will bring an advantage that was missing last year.
Big factors to consider. The media and fans of early OOC opponents will be saying WOW because they will be so efficient and mature from the get-go.
