BYU’s TJ Haws carries the banner for the ‘Lone Peak Three’ while his former prep teammates have moved on or faltered

Provo • As BYU’s season plods through January, it is becoming more evident that this is not one of coach Dave Rose’s better teams.

In fact, it might be one of the worst. The Cougars fell to 12-9 overall, 4-2 in West Coast Conference play, after getting thumped 82-63 by San Francisco on Saturday night and wouldn’t even make the National Invitation Tournament (NIT) if the season ended today.

Seven of the nine losses have been by nine points or more and three have been by 19 points or more. It is certainly not the way BYU fans expected this season to go, especially back in the fall of 2016 when the so-called “Lone Peak Three” of Lone Peak High graduates Eric Mika, Nick Emery and TJ Haws were reunited in Provo.
