BYU basketball players Nick Emery (4), guard TJ Haws (30) and forward Eric Mika (12) watch a highlight reel before the game against the Santa Clara Broncos at the Marriott Center in Provo on Thursday, Dec. 29, 2016.
The 2016-17 basketball season is what many BYU fans have been waiting for for nearly half a decade. There was talk of conference championships, tournament appearances and even speculation about runs to the Sweet 16 and possibly the Final Four
The reason for the lofty goals rested on the shoulders of the Lone Peak three of Eric Mika, Nick Emery and TJ Haws who would be on the floor together for the first time since winning a national championship with Lone Peak High School in 2012-13.
