BYU in review: Cougars overcame some adversity and distractions to win a pair of games at home. Can they keep the momentum going on the road this week?

“It seems like every week is a dramatic week with this team,” Worthington said after scoring a season-high 13 points in the difficult win over the Broncos. “Everybody has got stuff going on at all times. You know, with life, there are a lot of ups and downs.”

They have been good enough to win most of their games at home, but not quite consistent enough away from home to make anyone notice.

Last week’s distraction came courtesy of disgruntled guard Jahshire Hardnett, who reportedly quit the team on Monday after getting into a verbal dispute with coach Dave Rose in the middle of the loss at Saint Mary’s two days prior, but was somehow persuaded to return.
