The BYU Cougars are the fifth-seed at the Big 12 Men's Basketball Tournament this week and Jake Hatch says we should not discount the accomplishments Mark Pope and the BYU men's basketball program made this season considering the level(s) they stepped up in with Brigham Young University's entrance into the Big 12 Conference.

Jake then celebrated BYU basketball star Jaxson Robinson's being named the Big 12 Sixth Man of the Year along with his being named to the All-Big 12 Honorable Mention team alongside Dallin Hall, Spencer Johnson and Foussenyi Traore but also questioning why Robinson was on an All-Big 12 Team and Aly Khalifa being snubbed of honors all together.

Finally, the show wrapped up with Jake's notes from BYU football's fifth spring practice Friday as true freshmen like Ephraim Asiata and Ryner Swanson make names for themselves and the offensive and defensive lines show equal parts brilliance and that work still needs to be done along with weekend recaps for BYU baseball, softball and men's volleyball.
