Provo • BYU’s basketball team faces a leadership void this upcoming season with no seniors on its roster and its most experienced player dealing with eligibility issues stemming from a school probe into allegations that he received improper benefits from a booster.
Coach Dave Rose announced Wednesday his team captains, the players he hopes will step up and guide the Cougars through what figures to be a rebuilding season. Juniors Elijah Bryant and Luke Worthington, who played two years before serving an LDS Church mission, are BYU’s captains for the 2017-18 season.
The most experienced player on the roster is junior Nick Emery, who has played in 70 games the past two seasons.
