BYU Basketball: Why Nick Emery is just what the doctor ordered for the Cougars

BYU Basketball is off to their worst start in the Dave Rose era, largely due to their current three-game losing streak.

Losing to a very good Houston team wasn’t horrible. Losing in overtime on the road at Illinois State caused concern. Forgetting to play defense at Weber State is inexcusable.

And the schedule doesn’t get any easier from here. The Cougars host Utah State on Wednesday night. The Aggies are 7-1 and one of the biggest surprises of the year in college basketball.

Then they take on rival Utah on Saturday at Vivint Smarthome Arena. After one final non-conference home game against Portland State they’ll head out on a five-game road trip to UNLV, San Diego State, Mississippi State, Pacific, and St.
