BYU had a 53-36 rebounding edge. We missed Somfai.
After the third quarter we cut the lead down to 1, but allowed BYU to score 26 pts in the fourth. Poor defense like that speaks to fatigue, which is what you get when you have 7 players get more than token minutes. We missed Somfai and Lepolo.
This team could be good next year if everyone with eligibility comes back, but if Somfai and/or any other key contributor leaves via the portal, we will be back to square one because we will never “win” with the portal (bring in more talent than we lose).
