This men's basketball season may feel like a disappointment for most BYU fans.
Missing the NCAA Tournament while losing to teams like Long Beach State, Harvard, Portland, Pepperdine and Pacific, despite having the NCAA's all-time leader in triple-doubles leading your team as a senior, certainly comes across as a missed opportunity.
Don't fret, though, Cougar fans — this is exactly where the program was supposed to be at this point ... and there are better things on the horizon.
Much, much better things.
In December 2013, I wrote a 3-part series on BYU men's basketball for the Deseret News.
