What are you BYU hoops expectations for 2012-13?

[Blueintheface]

Cautiously optimistic, slightly constipated.

[Indy Coug]

After watching the two preseason games, I think BYU is going to be doing well to match last season's results.

I think Haws will mean a better year than last. Maybe he gets mission legs, but I'm pretty optimistic.

Yeah, it's tough to tell in preseason, but I'm not too impressed. Not jumping off a ledge over it, but slightly less optimistic than I was two weeks ago.

It is pretty clear that we are going to miss the consistency of Noah.

The football program has scarred your soul, Jay. Don't worry, Rose has got this.

[Katy Lied]

For me, this year should be all Haws all the time, with a sprinkle of Nate mixed in. I hope Nate can play tall, and quit crashing to the floor.

I would also be intriqued if Rose can git him some Kaufusi enforcement. It might be Araujo redux.

[Green Monstah]

I gave this question a little more thought, and I think I'm expecting less of this team. Hartsock was so huge for us over and over again last year.

I think Davies is going to have a better senior year than Arujo had. I fully expect him to lead BYU back to the tourney.

I think Davies will be a monster this year. His production will make up for some of the loss of Noah. And I am hopeful that the other guys step just enough to make up the rest. He was a big loss, but Haws helps ease that quite a bit. Hopefully Carlino and Austin make marked improvements.

Davies has played a limited role in the two preseason games. I'm not sure that we've really seen what this team is going to look like in a competitive situation.

And in that limited role he has been dominant. Granted the competition sucked, but he was scoring at will. We just need him to stay out of foul trouble. And out of the opposite sex.

I thought you were going to say that he needed to stay out of foul trouble on the court and NOT score at will off of it.

That works too.

I would rather have Noah, but I am convinced Davies will be much better, individually, this season than either Noah and himself from last year. Further, with Haws back BYU has at least one consistent reliable shooter from the 3, who while not having the ability to take it to the rack like Kobe, he does have a very potent mid-range game that defenders closing out will have to be concerned about. To me the key boils down to Carlino. If Carlino's decision making improves and he can hit the open jumper and continue to be able to penetrate when needed, BYU will be better than last year, IMO.
