Delaware enters its matchup with BYU searching for answers after an 0–2 start that’s exposed both offensive inefficiency and defensive inconsistency. The Blue Hens have struggled to maintain rhythm, turning the ball over frequently and failing to defend the perimeter or protect the paint. Injuries and absences — including key contributors Justyn Fernandez and Nnanna Njoku — have hurt their depth and forced younger players into larger roles. Still, Delaware’s uptempo style ensures plenty of possessions, and even in defeat, their pace often fuels higher scoring games. Their inability to slow opponents, combined with an emphasis on transition looks and early shot attempts, makes them a volatile but entertaining offensive group that can trade baskets when the pace quickens.

BYU, meanwhile, has looked every bit like a top-10 team in the early going. The Cougars are 2–0 and already showing balance, athleticism, and elite offensive cohesion under head coach Mark Pope. Veterans like Richie Saunders and Keba Keita provide stability, while freshman phenom AJ Dybantsa has injected scoring explosiveness from the wing. BYU’s 98–53 dismantling of Holy Cross highlighted their ability to score in bunches, push tempo, and dominate transition opportunities. Against a Delaware team that lacks defensive structure and depth, the Cougars should once again find easy scoring chances both inside and from beyond the arc. Given Delaware’s up tempo tendencies and BYU’s offensive firepower, the pace of play should stay elevated throughout. Expect an entertaining, end to end contest where both sides contribute to a high total.
