Dude! That’s an improvement.

Nice spin move by Luke on the break. God blesses those that serve!

[PaloAltoCougar]

Love the spin move as well as the Great Wall screen that caused the Delta Devil to collapse like a cheap tent. Luke is a much better player than pre-mish.

[KillerDog]

Luke does a number of good things. He sets screens with correct angle and doesn't leave early. He defends with his feet and mass better than Mika and Austin. He has a nice left-hand jump hook. I think he could develop into a solid starter by his senior year. Better programs than BYU take guys like Luke every year and build him over their careers into solid bigs who have 5 fouls, big bodies, one or two moves and the ability to make a catch and layup in traffic. I don't get the apparent disdain for Luke. It isn't his fault he is being asked to perform too early in his career.

I’m going to leave this right here. Luke has always been a good November player. Maybe he can play well in December. He is definitely continuing to progress.

Luke with a spin move baby hook combo, then nice semilob feed to Yoeli for a dunk.

Let's all remember that Luke did the full two year mission trip.

Why does LW get all these minutes? The guy is so uncoordinated — can’t even rebound or defend. He sucks!

Dude's hook shot cracks me up. He rises up and just throws the ball at the rim.

[Pelado]

Dude played with a lot of motor, scoring his personal season best in points. He also forced some takeaways and brought some team energy.

And he fouled out in 20 mins of play. Really a perfect game.

Silver linings.

Seemed like Luke got the first 4-5 rebounds of the game.
