On Saturday night, BYU basketball dominated Cincinnati to improve to 4-4 in conference play. The Cougars shot lights out from three against one of the best defe
nses in the country, all while playing stifling defense. BYU outscored Cincinnati 52-29 in the second half on their way to a 80-52 victory.KenPom is intended to be a predictive analytic, so the predictive model will adjust when a team outperforms or underperforms the model's expectation. KenPom predicted a 70-65 BYU win before the game. BYU wildly outperformed KenPom's expectation, so the model adjusted accordingly.
This BYU basketball team is only starting to scratch the surface of its potential. Richie Saunders is proving to be a bonafide star as a scorer, and Egor Demin is starting to get back into a rhthym on offense. Most notable, at least in the opinion of this author, is the development of the new starting lineup. Kevin Young may have found something with the starting lineup of Egor Demin, Richie Saunders, Mawot Mag, Keba Keita, and Trevin Knell. For the second consecutive game, that lineup dominated the start of the second half and BYU never looked back.
