Former BYU Head Coach Dave Rose joins Mitch Harper and Matt Baiamonte to talk BYU ahead of their match-up with Gonzaga tonight. Coach Rose says that both teams struggled on Thursday against lesser competition, but they survived. Tonight, it's the biggest game of the season for both teams. Rose says Senior Night will be emotional tonight, with many seniors who have led this team to their success this season. Rose, who recruited all these seniors, says it will be fun tonight to honor these players. He also says he's enjoyed watching them play all year long. Coach Rose says the biggest growth he's seen from Jake Toolson this year has been his confidence in himself and his ability to score. The key to beating Gonzaga is for every player to play their job, stay consistent and for Yoeli to stay out of foul trouble. Speaking about TJ Haws, Rose says he has been taking what defenses are giving him and making them pay in a variety of ways. Unseating Gonzaga at the top of the WCC starts with one win, says Dave Rose. Coach Rose says this team has more offensive weapons that the Jimmer-led 2011 team.
