Why is BYU basketball freshman Steven Beo wearing a retired jersey number?

Steven Beo had a great night during the exhibition game against Seattle Pacific on Oct. 29. He played for 15 minutes in the 2nd half. He shot 5-for-6 from the field and 3-for-3 at the stripe for a total of 15 points. Beo even added an assist and a couple rebounds to the proceedings.

While most people were focused on his hot shooting and Troy Bolton hair, I was distracted by his jersey number.

Beo was wearing the number 14. And I had questions.
