The Lone Peak Three — Eric Mika, left, TJ Haws, center, and Nick Emery — chat on the bench during game against Santa Clara at the Marriott Center in Provo on Thursday, Dec. 29, 2016. On Tuesday, Mika announced his decision to remain in this year's NBA draft, thus ending his career as a Cougar.
I actually really like where the team will go forward from here. They certainly would be better with Mika here. But I believe they can reach their goals and do the things they want to do even without him.
