PROVO — BYU football's stress-filled schedule has some fans clamoring for basketball season to begin. The season is just around the corner and the Cougars are full of intrigue.
BYU showcased its men's and women's basketball teams last Friday at the annual Boom Shakalaka event in the Marriott Center. This year's event was a little different from years past. The men's and women's teams played some five-minute mini-scrimmages with a champion crowned after a couple of rounds. The main difference was the absence of a dunk contest. There were whispers of a potential Yoeli Childs-Eric Mika showdown, but that was quickly debunked after the first couple of scrimmages.
