BYU basketball: Cougars open exhibition season Friday without three starters

Collinsworth's injury is the most troublesome, seeing as how the senior runs the offense and is expected to be the Cougars' best player this season.

"I think we will wait as long as we can on Kyle [before he returns]," Rose said. "I mean, he really wants to jump back in there and get going again. And we want him in there, but we want to make sure that we give him time. Tendinitis is an interesting issue."

BYU's second exhibition game will be played on Saturday, Nov. 7 against Alaska. The season begins on Nov. 13 in the Marriott Center against Utah Valley University and new coach Mark Pope, the former BYU assistant.
