Some little known facts on BU's upcoming opponent BYU



Bradley's next game after beating Wisconsin (or even if lose...) will be either BYU or Nevada....who both obviously will both be making a much father trip to get to the Chicago Invitational. Here's a little bit on BYU that you may not have known.

BYU - of course will be without Jimmer Fredette. They will certainly have less success this coming year but they're still going to be a good team and have some talent.
BYU comes off a 32-5, Sweet Sixteen season. Big man Brandon Davies was suspended for team rules violation but he may be back. BYU will not be in the Mountain West next year but will be in the West Coast Conference in basketball & independent in football. That will pit them in basketball against St. Mary's & Gonzaga.
BYU's other backcourt senior Jackson Emery has also graduated, and he is the only other senior loss of significance.

Bradley lost at BYU 70-60 on November 13, 2009 as part of the MVC/MWC Challenge...
We couldn't buy a basket that night -- here's the box score-

Charles Abouo scored 15 points


BYU also will have Matt Carlino who has bounced around from Indiana to UCbu to BYU but he won't be eligible until after 1st semester so he won't play against Bradley.

One other piece of BYU news - the #1 high school player in the nation is visiting BYU -- nice feather in their cap!
