Also the guy that was going to guard Solo.
Not impossible he still makes the game, though, haven't seen anything official that he won't play.

Davis has been BYU’s best perimeter defender so far and one of their best 3 point shooters. It will be a big loss for them off he doesn’t play. He sat out their game against Delaware to rest a sore Achilles and their defense struggled much of the game.
BYU fan boards seem to think it involved something other than alcohol, possibly medication or weed. But out send unlikely he plays unless there’s something exculpatory, and doubtful that would come out before the game on Saturday.
If he doesn’t play, it tips the scales a lot more in the Huskies’ favor.

Love this test. This game won’t determine where we go. It will merely tell is where we are at the moment. I saw Alabama vs Purdue last night. Two good teams. Two complete games. Nobody will convince me that they are clearly better than us. If Hurley can get our D to be top 15, watch out.
DUI is always an issue, but Is this a bigger deal st BYU than other schools
I've seen random BYU fan speculation that it was a DUI involving pain meds for his achilles. No clue on the truthfulness of that. Still a DUI either way but it wouldn't be against BYU's code if it were prescribed.

Well said - only issue is these early games will weigh heavily on seeding.

What are the chances he plays Saturday? That’s all we’re wondering tbh.

If he were playing for an SEC school? 100%. But BYU? I doubt he plays. A DUI is a DUI. Hell, some BYU kid got suspended for having sex a couple years ago. LOL
I read some BYU kid got suspended for an entire season due to a DUI charge.
Considering he sat out their last game to heal, it wouldn't exactly hurt their season to sit him for the UConn game as part of a suspension. If they lose they did so without one of their starters, if they win, they look even better. Probably depends a lot on if it was illegal drug/alcohol related.
If he's out, I am curious who starts in place of him. A three guard lineup with Wright/Saunders/Baker with Dybansta/Keita would be really small but quick against UConn. It would force Karaban to defend either Dybansta or one of the guards. Considering BYU plays like an NBA team that goes after mismatch over and over until the other team adjusts, that will be interesting to see.
Of course it leaves them exploitable inside. Keita is big, and athletic but Reed should make him look small if their height/weights are close to accurate. Karaban being on the perimeter negates a big chance to double the post with Dybansta also if BYU is in that small lineup (if Dybansta isn't on Karaban, he should be able to shoot over any of the guards).

He wasn’t smart enough like Bouknight to just flee the scene. That alleged BYU education is meaningless.

We’re not at full strength though. I’ll take whatever I can get.

Forget that. Teams pay consequences for not having a strong culture. That’s what sets us apart. Off the Court issues will be a huge factor, especially in the NIL era. This is why Hurley is so adamant about who he recruits and the families they come from

I want a win. Nobody remembers who was healthy or not come March, they look at the Ws and Ls and seed you accordingly.

This is it. If BYU beats us, no one was going to say well there was no Braylon Mullins so . . .
Michigan State and ultimately UNC weren't sad that Jerome wasn't on the 09 squad. If so, that team wins it all
Yeah, As bad as Baker was against Delaware, the bench wasn't particularly good overall either. Mrus has been a dud so far this year and Diomande has been hit or miss. Offensively at least. They do provide a bit more on defense, especially Diomande (from the little I saw). They have a strong starting five but there depth is questionnable if called on to replace a starter. Decent role players off the bench but I'm not sure I'd want to start any of the three long term.

Pain meds for Achilles tendonitis don't help much and simply mask underlying issues. Moreover, the typical meds for this purpose-- NSAIDs or something stronger like Voltaren-- don't cause sedation or lack of alertness. If anything, one could have an allergic response to the Voltaren, but this would usually involve breathing issues, hives, etc.
