BYU had a tumultuous offseason, but the Cougars are hoping to use it as a springboard to better things

Provo • No good sports stories start with a picture-perfect team that only continued getting better and went off to win the big game. There’s always a level of adversity a team has to deal with or an element of surprise, senior forward Yoeli Childs said.

And that's sort of what the BYU men's basketball team is going through right now.

The Cougars, who start the 2019-2020 season Nov. 5 against Cal State Fullerton, have been dealing with a tumultuous offseason.

“I like to look at it as maybe it's a sign for great things to come,” Childs said.
