While BYU's football team is floundering along with an abysmal 2-8 record, basketball season is just around the corner.
Will the Cougar hoops team give fans something to cheer about after a disastrous football campaign?
CBSSports.com apparently thinks so. It ranks BYU as the No. 1 basketball team in the state, ahead of Utah, Utah Valley, Utah State, Weber State and Southern Utah.
"The return of Nick Emery is just enough to put the Cougars ahead of a Utah team that's going to miss Kyle Kuzma (currently a Los Angles Laker)," writes Matt Norlander.
