BYU Basketball Has Must-Win Scenario Against Duquesne Dukes & It's Go-Time

The BYU Cougars open play in the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament today in Omaha against the Duquesne Dukes and Jake Hatch says it's a must-win for Mark Pope and the BYU men's basketball program if they hope to be considered among the best-ever BYU basketball programs in Brigham Young University (BYU) history and the good news is they have the goods to do it.

Jake then caught up with BYU defensive end Logan Lutui, who has battled back from an ACL injury to re-establish himself in the two-deep on the defensive line in Jay Hill's defense and he is using his institutional knowledge from his time playing for Hill and the Weber State Wildcats to his advantage as he looks to lead BYU to Big 12 Conference glory this fall.

Finally, the show wrapped up with some notes from Jake from his time at the NCAA Tournament so far with kind words for BYU form Heath Schroyer and Gonzaga Bulldogs coach Mark Few along with some notes he had collected from his attendance at BYU football practice earlier in the week and what Kalani Sitake's program looks like as they get closer to closing out spring ball.
