The BYU Cougars are the fifth-seed at the Big 12 Men's Basketball Tournament this week and Jake Hatch says we should not discount the accomplishments Mark Pope and the BYU men's basketball program made this season considering the level(s) they stepped up in with Brigham Young University's entrance into the Big 12 Conference.

Jake then celebrated BYU basketball star Jaxson Robinson's being named the Big 12 Sixth Man of the Year along with his being named to the All-Big 12 Honorable Mention team alongside Dallin Hall, Spencer Johnson and Foussenyi Traore but also questioning why Robinson was on an All-Big 12 Team and Aly Khalifa being snubbed of honors all together.

Finally, the show wrapped up with Jake's notes from BYU football's fifth spring practice Friday as true freshmen like Ephraim Asiata and Ryner Swanson make names for themselves and the offensive and defensive lines show equal parts brilliance and that work still needs to be done along with weekend recaps for BYU baseball, softball and men's volleyball.

This week it is BYU football's turn to get a preview for the 2023 season! It is the first season of Power 5 football for the Cougars, are they ready? I give you my preview of what to expect, key games and more!

No. 3 Montana State emerged from a wild, haphazard showdown against No. 5 Weber State that included four safeties on errant punts, a kick and punt return touchdown by Weber State plus a blocked field goal by the Wildcats, and a Big Sky Conference record for rushing yards by a quarterback (273) by MSU sophomore Tommy Mellott to post a 43-38 victory. 

Colter Nuanez tries to sum up MSU's fifth straight Big Sky Conference victory as the 'Cats move to 7-1 overall entering their bye week by handing WSU their first loss of the season. This episode includes sound from Weber State head coach Jay Hill, Montana State head coach Brent Vigen and MSU senior safety Ty Okada. 

Colter Nuanez is joined by Wednesday guest host Shaun Rainey of SWX Montana television to discuss the upcoming Big Sky Conference football season and share interviews with Weber State head coach Jay Hill and Montana head coach Bobby Hauck.

The first OHITM episode that is to intense and such a wild ride that it needed two parts. 19.2 drops next Friday.
