The BYU Cougars are in offseason preparation for the BYU men's basketball program but the Big 12 Conference schedule matrix released Thursday is a win for Keving Young and the BYU basketball program as it gives them their toughest games in the Marriott Center and that is a big break for BYU hoops as they seek to contend in the Big 12 next season.

Jake Hatch then talked about the latest commitment to the BYU football program as offensive lineman Andrew Williams announced his verbal pledge to Kalani Sitake's program and it's a notable win as BYU beat out the Kansas Jayhawks, Kansas State Wildcats and Iowa State Cyclones for Williams' services and it caps a stellar week and month for the Cougars.

Finally, the show wrapped up with questions from the Locked On Cougars insider group as Jake fielded questions on BYU basketball's fortunes, BYU recruiting, what the elevator pitch for each contender to start at quarterback is and who Jake's favorite character is from "Friday Night Lights," among other topics broached in the weekly Q&A session.
