Are the BYU Cougars SOFT? Kevin Young CALLS OUT Team After EMBARRASSING Losses | Jack Kelly & Chase Robert NFL Combine Results | BYU Women's Basketball Carry Momentum into Big 12 Tournament
BYU men's basketball could be staring into the abyss after back-to-back losses, capped by a stumbling performance against West Virginia. Is “abandon all hope” the new reality for Kevin Young’s squad? Jake Hatch raises the pressing question: with defensive breakdowns, rebounding woes, and a .500 Big 12 Conference record, can BYU find a spark before the NCAA Tournament, or are fans bracing for a season that fizzles out with a whimper instead of a roar? Injuries and roster challenges have tested the team’s resolve, with standout AJ Dybantsa's scoring heroics overshadowed by the squad’s inability to close out games and defend the perimeter. The upcoming battles against Cincinnati and Texas Tech will be pivotal—will BYU rally or crumble under pressure, as momentum now trends sharply downward? On the gridiron, NFL hopefuls Chase Roberts and Jack Kelly were put through their paces at the NFL Combine. Jake Hatch details how Kelly’s athletic feats—a 4.57-second 40-yard dash, sharp short-burst speed, and strong jumps—affirmed his value as a mid-round draft target. His versatility in space and closing speed could intrigue NFL teams focused on hybrid linebacker roles. Meanwhile, Roberts’ slower-than-expected 40-yard dash threatens to drop his stock, despite a productive college career. The analysis extends to how BYU’s Pro Day may offer a second chance for Roberts to impress scouts and clubs weighing his age and athleticism against younger prospects. Will Roberts’ reliable hands and size trump speed concerns, or is he bound for priority free agent status? The episode contrasts the men’s basketball struggles with a surge in BYU women’s basketball. Under Lee Cummard, the squad rides a three-game win streak into the Big 12 Tournament, clinching their 20th win of the season and earning a shot at redemption against Houston and archrival Utah. Delaney Gibb’s standout play and balanced contributions have the Cougars poised for a possible postseason run. Drawing on influences from Dave Rose and Jeff Judkins, Kumard’s leadership has revitalized the program. As March Madness beckons, momentum for BYU women’s basketball is building, providing Cougar nation with hope as the men’s program faces its greatest tests yet. Will BYU basketball rebound, and can its football stars secure NFL futures? Jake Hatch offers must-hear analysis and insider takes for Cougar fans.
