Look for him to be among the conference leaders in points, assist, and steals.Emery is an athletic energy guy who hustles as hard as anyone out on the court. He plays great defense and is solid and efficient on offense, with a solid outside shot.Tavernari is small to play the four but is BYU's leading returning rebounder Tavernari can be very streaky. He is a fiery competitor and a great outside shooter with an extremely quick release. He is capable of putting up points in bunches as fast as anyone in the country.Miles is a solid presence inside. He is an anchor offensively and defensively, and if he can avoid foul trouble, he will put up some good numbers for the Cougars.BYU's main challenger and competitor for the 2009 conference championship will be UNLV.UNLV swept BYU last year and has a bunch of transfers, new exciting players, and solid returnees that could create a lot of problems for BYU. If UNLV can come together quickly from a chemistry standpoint, they have the talent to be one of the best teams in the country.San Diego State, New Mexico, and (perhaps) Utah also have the talent to take the conference.After looking at their schedule, I will predict a 28-4 regular season record, going 13-3 in conference.

I think BYU will lose at Arizona, at UNLV, at San Diego State, and at New Mexico.A 13-3 conference record should be good enough to claim the regular season conference title.BYU has yet to win the post-season conference tournament. They have three finals appearances in the tournament, but have fell to UNLV all three times. The conference does this for purely economic reasons.Las Vegas is the conferences most attractive city and draws the biggest crowds. The only drawback is the competitive disadvantage against teams like BYU. Even with a 28-4 record, a conference tournament championship will be key to giving BYU the seed they need in the NCAA tournament. Is this finally the year they can win (at least) one game in the tournamentBYU's last win in the NCAA tournament came in 1993.

They have suffered some close and tragic losses in the seven NCAA tournament appearances since then.I'm saying that this is finally the year that turns around. I think BYU will win (gasp!) a game in the NCAA tournament this yearbecause they have the talent to get a seed in the 5-6 range and will finally be able to reverse their luck in the NCAA tournament.BYU's schedule for the 2009-2010 season:NOV 13FRIBradleyPROVO, UT 7:30 PM NOV 17TUEIdaho StatePROVO, UT 7:30 PM NOV 20FRIHawaiiHonolulu, HI 7:00 PM NOV 24TUESouthernPROVO, UT 7:00 PM NOV 27FRIWeber StatePROVO, UT 7:30 PM DEC 2WEDUtah StateLogan, UT 7:00 PM DEC 5SATSan Francisco Energy Solutions ArenaSalt Lake City, UT 4:00 PM DEC 8TUEArizona StatePROVO, UT 8:00 PM DEC 12SATFresno State Galen CenterLos Angeles, CA 7:00 PM DEC 17THUWagnerPROVO, UT 7:00 PM DEC 19SATEastern WashingtonPROVO, UT 7:00 PM DEC 22TUENevada Orleans ArenaLas Vegas, NV 7:30 PM DEC 23WEDNebraska or Tulsa Orleans ArenaLas Vegas, NV TBA DEC 28MONArizonaTucson, AZ TBA JAN 2SATEastern New MexicoPROVO, UT 7:00 PM JAN 6WEDUNLVPROVO, UT 8:00 PM JAN 9SATUTEPEl Paso, TX 7:00 PM JAN 13WEDAir ForceUSAFA, CO 6:00 PM JAN 16SATColorado StatePROVO, UT 4:00 PM JAN 20WEDWyomingPROVO, UT 6:00 PM JAN 23SATSan Diego StateSan Diego, CA 7:00 PM JAN 27WEDNew MexicoAlbuquerque, NM 8:00 PM JAN 30SATUtahPROVO, UT 7:00 PM FEB 2TUETCUPROVO, UT 7:00 PM FEB 6SATUNLVLas Vegas, NV 1:00 PM FEB 13SATAir ForcePROVO, UT 4:00 PM FEB 17WEDColorado StateFort Collins, CO 6:00 PM FEB 20SATWyomingLaramie, WY 4:00 PM FEB 24WEDSan Diego StatePROVO, UT 7:00 PM FEB 27SATNew MexicoPROVO, UT 2:00 PM MAR 3WEDUtahSalt Lake City, UT 7:00 PM MAR 6SATTCUFort Worth, TX 5:00 PM .
