The only trouble with Mika's ascent this season, when he averaged 20.3 points and 9.2 rebounds as a sophomore, is it makes the team's performance seem more disappointing. If you had told me Mika would be this productive in his first season back from a church mission, I would have upgraded my preseason forecast.
I didn't predict an NCAA Tournament bid for the Cougars, believing it would take a year for the team to come together (similar to Utah's situation). That basically proved true during BYU's 22-12 season that ended with a loss to UT Arlington in the NIT's first round.
