BYU men s basketball coach Mark Pope is off to Kentucky after just one season \u2014 and a fifth-place finish \u2014 in the Big 12. Where do the Cougars turn next?
Lehi guard Cooper Lewis is the 38th winner of the Deseret News Mr. Basketball award after guiding the Pioneers to the 6A state championship and leading the state in scoring.
Thanks to a strong nonconference record, highlighted by wins over San Diego State and current Pac-12 co-leader Arizona State, the Cougars require only moderate success in the Big 12.
