Provo • BYU basketball coach Dave Rose had both bad news and good news after the Cougars practiced Thursday afternoon at the Marriott Center.
First, the good news: seniors Kyle Collinsworth (knee tendinitis) and Chase Fischer (quad contusion) have practiced the past few days since sitting out the exhibition opener against Arizona Christian last week and are expected to play on Saturday when BYU plays host to Alaska-Fairbanks in its second exhibition game.
The bad news: Four players expected to be major contributors this season did not practice Thursday and will likely miss the final exhibition game.
