In this edition of Cougar Tales, Mitch Harper and Kyle Ireland round up the latest news from BYU Basketball that may have flown under the radar. From the loaded 2026 Maui Invitational field—including Arizona, Clemson, Ole Miss, and more—to a Big Monday showdown with Arizona set for January 26 at 7 p.m., there’s plenty to get excited about. Plus, the guys react to BYU’s early tip-off against Nebraska and break down the official visit of top JUCO prospect KJ Perry, a dynamic 6'3" guard with big-time offensive upside who could join Dean Ruckert in the 2026 class. Don’t miss this fast-paced rundown of key hoops headlines.

With just five weeks until the BYU Cougars tip off the 2025‑26 season, the stage is set—and the non‑conference slate is nothing short of ambitious. The season officially begins with an exhibition game at Nebraska on October 18, followed by marquee matchups including North Carolina, Villanova, Wisconsin, UConn, and more. Mitch Harper and Kyle Ireland break down what’s new: returning stars, early experiments in the lineup, how AJ Dybantsa and others could impact the team, and why this schedule matters more than ever as BYU looks to build on last season’s Sweet 16 run.
