Introductions

Hello there, and welcome to Three Point Range, a blog about college basketball. I’m a huge fan of the sport and wanted to share my thoughts with the world. I know it’s late in the season, but I finally have the time to begin and continually update a blog. This blog will heavily feature my own thoughts, analysis, and bias, and it is highly possible I will be wrong a majority of the time. As for myself, I am a shooter by nature, and that’s about all I do well on the court, which is why I’m writing about college basketball instead of playing. This reflects in teams that I favor, as the better they shoot, the more I like them. I am a fan of the Michigan Wolverines, and you may see that reflected in my analysis. For the rest of this season, I plan on giving my thoughts on the field of 68 and then giving my predictions for the tournament. I’ll give round-by-round recaps of all the tournament games and then reactions to any offseason news. During the next season and beyond, I will look to give daily insights on games I watched and whatever else comes up that I feel like sharing. I hope you continue to read, and share your thoughts on NCAA Basketball. If you would like extra insights follow on Twitter @ThreePointRange.

BYU Season Preview

2022-23 Record: 19-15, 7-9 WCC (5th) Coach: Mark Pope, Fifth Season Departures: Rudi Williams, G (Graduation) Gideon George, F (Graduation) Tanner Toolson, W (Transfer) Arrivals: Dawson Baker, G (Transfer from UC Irvine) Aly Khalifa, C (Transfer from Charlotte) Projected Starting Lineup PG: Dallin Hall SG: Jaxson Robinson SF: Spencer Johnson PF: Fousseyni Traore C: Aly Khalifa Roster Breakdown The Cougars are coming into the conference from the WCC, and they'll have to raise their game to keep their high level of success with their move to the Big 12. The good news for Mark Pope is he has a lot of returning production to help the transition to the new conference. While two of their top four scorers depart, the Cougars do bring back seven of their top nine scorers. Leading the returners is big man Fousseyni Traore , who led the team in scoring last season. He put up 12.9 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.5 steals, and 0.7 blocks, and his rebounding and block numbers were actually down from hi...

They've made the tournament every year since 2018, and haven't lost double digit games at any time in that span. They have lost two first round draft picks in Marcus Sasser  and Jarace Walker , but the show goes on, and there's plenty of reason of optimism for the Cougars, starting with their returning talent. Jamal Shead  is back and he'll run the show for the Coogs t...
