I think we’ll win the conference tournament and we’re going to the NCAA Tournament because the guys we have coming back are older and more mature. ... This is the year where it can all come together and we can do something special.

PROVO — After a couple of months of uncertainty, BYU’s basketball roster for the 2018-19 season is more settled now that forward Yoeli Childs has announced he has withdrawn from the NBA draft and is returning for his junior season.

“We just wanted him to go through the process,” said assistant coach Quincy Lewis.
