Climbing the Polls

This is the best basketball team Provo has seen since 1987, and it only looks brighter going forward.

The Cougars have jumped to 17 and 18 in the latest polls. With three very winnable games (at AF, home to Colorado St. and Wyoming) in the next three, look for BYU to get to 19-1, even if Jimmer can't suit up.

Some very interesting--and promising--numbers (BYU's NCAA ranks) which should appease in March:

FT%: 1st

FG%: 4th

3PFG%: 5th

Scoring Margin: 6th

Win-Loss Percentage: 3rd

Scoring Offense: 9th
