Eye on the Y: With the start of basketball, we’re set up for a double feature on Saturday

Provo • The men’s Basketball season started Tuesday with a win over Cal State Fullerton and, man, did everyone see Alex Barcello’s performance?

Coming from Tucson, Ariz., I was already familiar with Barcello, who previously played for Arizona. I sat in the McKale Center and watched him from the stands a few times last season when my schedule permitted, but there was something different about watching him play in a BYU jersey. There was something different in the way he played.

There was more passion and explosiveness out of him. When he blocked a Titan shot — a play that helped get the Cougars momentum started — he screamed out to the crowd.
