The strength of the BYU Cougars basketball team lies in their frontline of Yoeli Childs and Eric Mika. This duo has played the most reliably and consistently. Going into ball games, head coach Dave Rose has to wonder what he is going to get from the streaky shotmaking of his guards and wings. He doesn’t have to worry about his bigs. They are going to dependably crash the boards, get to the line, and score for his team. It seems that the only thing slowing down the Y big men this season are referee whistles.
The physical gifts and basketball acumen of Yoeli and Mika are terrific and certainly a key part of to their individual success.
