A new word is suddenly part of the BYU basketball vocabulary. It's being thrown around often these days, as if it's use isn't foreign to the Cougar cagers.
Twice in the last week, BYU starters uttered the word in postgame comments.
The word?
April.
BYU basketball and April. In the same sentence.
Yes, the Cougars believe they'll be playing in April. And that means one of two things: Making the NCAA Final Four or making the NIT Final Four. And you know which one the Cougars mean.
Jonathan Tavernari and Sam Burgess believe. They're the recent culprits of dropping "playing well in April" into everyday conversations. They think it can happen.
Do you?
It's OK if you're not convinced. After all, this is a program that hasn't won a single NCAA game since 1993. But if BYU can win out and garner at No. 6 seed, it's conceivable to see the Cougars reach the Sweet 16. From there, anything can happen.
So in honor of the Cougars looking to a bright new future that includes April, The CougarZone is looking to the past. Through the Final Four, we offer you the chance to vote for you favorite Cougar greats of the last 20 years or so. At all five positions, pick your favorite. It's not necessarily the best the player at each spot, just your personal fave.
So vote. And believe.
BYU and April. Sounds like a winning combination.
