Dick Harmon: Dave Rose could really use his 3-ball shooters to elevate BYU this season

BY guard Zac Seljaas shoots against Texas Southern at the Marriott Center on Saturday, Dec. 23, 2017. The Cougars hope Seljaas can regain the long-distance shooting form he flashed during his freshman season.

PROVO — BYU will need the three-ball this year, but does Dave Rose have confidence enough in his archers? They’re capable, but are they cold-blooded enough to fire away?

The Cougars open the season on the road Tuesday night at seventh-ranked Nevada, a huge challenge. The NCAA Tournament Selection Committee made it clear last year that playing “up” is the roadmap for Big Dance aspirants.
