Denver was fun. On this Sunday morning, relive BYU's thrilling victory against Wisconsin through the written word, like in the olden days: BYU Men's Basketball heraldextra.com/sports/byu/202…

Day of the Sweet 16 matchup with Alabama, the Cougars with a shoot around at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). Tip is about two hours away at the Prudential Center. BYU Men's Basketball

I'm still old school and keep my own running score on a small yellow pad. Normally end up with two pages. With BYU and Alabama, could it be three pages? BYU Men's Basketball

Well, that was an entertaining five minutes. @byumbb up 13-12 on Alabama in a racehorse start. Mawot Mag pretty active and has a couple of assists, including one to Keba Keita for a dunk.

Alabama has attempted 31 shots so far in the first half, with 26 coming from beyond the arc. It has made 12 triples. BYU, defensively, will live or die from the 3-point line. Crimson Tide up 44-36, 3:40 to play first half. BYU Men's Basketball

Kevin Young is an offensive guru, but he and his coaching staff really missed on the defensive game plan for this one. Giving Alabama wide open 3s early only gave them confidence, and now the Crimson Tide are just having fun launching from 28 feet. BYU Men's Basketball

Elaine coached my mother, Crystal, in intramural volleyball at BYU in the late 1950s. Elaine's impact on Cougar women's sports is absolutely immeasurable. What a legend. BYU Cougars

The crazier the transfer portal gets, the more players feel it doesn't matter what system they play in, as long as they get paid. Pretty sure that won't be the case in every situation. Fit, culture, education all still important, but less valued. BYU FOOTBALL

I remember very little about my BYU graduation in the Marriott Center. Pretty sure I went but it was 34 years ago. I do remember the ceremony with my communications classmates at the old HFAC. Those moments are still etched in my mind. Congrats to my daughter, Shelby!

[Rant] $18 for a couple of overcooked chicken tenders, bad fries and a drink at the UCCU Center? You should be ashamed of yourselves, UVU. That's extortion. I'd rather walk out to my car and drive somewhere than pay that ridiculously amount for sub-par food. [end of rant]

Passion? Emotion? Santiago has those. BYU fans will be watching closely how he puts those together as he takes over the athletic program: heraldextra.com/sports/byu/202…
