BYU football unofficially kicked off the 2024 preseason Monday with its now-annual media and corporate partners golf scramble at Cedar Hills Golf Club, where head coach Kalani Sitake, offensive coordinator Aaron Roderick and others spent time with the media after playing 18 holes in the second year of the event.

Nani Falatea scored nine of her 16 points to go along with five rebounds and five assists in the first quarter, and Lauren Gustin added 21 points to go along with a career-high 24 rebounds and two blocked shots for her 15th double-double in 16 games in a 63-49 win Saturday afternoon over San Diego at the Marriott Center in Provo.
Ari Mackey-Williams added 9 points and 2 assists for the Cougars, who overcame 19 turnovers with a 40-23 rebounding edge and holding the Toreros to 38% shooting en route to their fourth-straight win.
BYU jumped out to an 18-7 lead after the first quarter and led by as much as 15 in the second half.
“I think we’ve gotten in a rhythm with each other, and I’ve gotten in a rhythm with them,” BYU coach Amber Whiting said. “Obviously, it’s going to take time with an ew coach. But they are starting to jell at the right time, and they’re playing their role.
“They’re figuring each other out, and they’re coming together. I couldn’t be more proud of them.”
Gustin’s 24 boards ties a Marriott Center record, the most in a single game since Tina Gunn-Robinson pulled down as many in 1978.
Sean is joined by BYU sophomore guard Nani Falatea, 5-foot-9 in the program but 6-foot-4 in your hearts, as she discusses her career-high 24-point game against Saint Mary's, a new shooting confidence with the Cougars, playing 34 minutes per night ... and how she grew up speaking Mandarin Chinese.

When BYU receiver Kody Epps finally caught his first career touchdown pass for BYU, and he was plenty excited. But coming in the second half of a 41-20 loss to then-No. 25 Oregon at venerated Autzen Stadium left plenty to be desired.
"It was lit, but it was weird at the same time," Epps said. "You know when you get a gift at Christmas, and you have to open the rest of the gifts? So you open the gift you want, but you know Grandma is going to give you a pair of socks still? It was that gift I wanted, but I still had to focus on the game.
"It was lit, but I also just had to focus."
His teammates were plenty excited for him.
"I was hyped for him," cornerback Gabe Jeudy-Lally said. "It was long overdue, I believe."
On the latest episode of CougConnect Catch-Up on the Cougar Beat podcast, Epps tells Jeudy-Lally about that touchdown, his own performance from the Cougars' first loss of the season, and what he expected from playing at the highly regarded Autzen Stadium.

KSL.com's Sean Walker is joined by former BYU linebacker and basketball standout Danny Frazier (1977-79) and BYU rugby rising senior Ronald Weaver III ('23) to discuss the racially charged incident alleged between the BYU women's volleyball team and Duke last Friday night.
As two Black athletes and former athletes at BYU — and returned Latter-day Saint missionaries — Danny and Ronald bring a unique perspective to a conversation about racism at BYU, how it continues to fester in today's world, and what can be done to follow President Russell M. Nelson's exhortation to "root out racism."
