BYU hasn’t even played 10 games yet, and already the coach has repeatedly lamented the limitations of a team that wants to contend for a West Coast Conference championship its final season before going to the Big 12.
The Cougars lost by only one against South Dakota, but fell behind by as many as 21 in a listless first half where they played absolutely no defense and let the Coyotes do whatever they wanted.
And on offense, BYU again shot poorly from the 3-point line, which has been a major issue so far this season. BYU fans will note that it’s still early in the season, therefore it’s unreasonable to think the Cougars are in a Chicken Little situation. But as Pope himself said, the next two games on the schedule are much more difficult than South Dakota, and they need to figure things out quickly.
“There’s a price to winning,” Pope said. “We all talk about the words, but very few of us ever get to really know what that is in our guts, like really know what that means. I think that’s where we are feeling our most uncertainly right now is how far away we are from actually understanding.”
