@SunsLead I think Flemming gets time over both Pete and Dunn! And I'd love to see Gillespie start and have Green come off the bench!

@SunsLead 90's white is iconic... '22 City was dopee

[Austin Pace @austin_pace14]

@SunsLead SOLID pickup!

[Suns Lead @SunsLead]

The Phoenix Suns were supposed to have a disaster of a 2025-26 season; instead, they established an identity and have a plan to move forward.

Bam Adebayo....😶

8-13 first half for Book! He's finally looking like himself again

Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark was asked whether the league would do more than issue fines for derogatory anti-LDS chants at conference venues.

Here was his response.

[BYU FOOTBALL @BYUfootball]

NUMBER ONE.

[Austin Pace @austin_pace14]

Dybansta 40 piece and Mboup with 14 boards? That wasn't on my bucket list for the day but I'm NOT mad about it👀🔥

[Austin Pace @austin_pace14]

Suns vs Hornets starting soon... This is a MUST WIN game for the Suns. The Hornets come in as one of the hottest teams on the NBA, so the Suns need to send a message and OBLITERATE this team

[Austin Pace @austin_pace14]

BYU vs Kansas State...

Should be an easy game, right?😅

[Austin Pace @austin_pace14]

Khaman Maluach is too good for the G-League, but isn't quite NBA ready yet

[Austin Pace @austin_pace14]

The Suns are really missing Goodie, Brooks and Williams, that is understandable. BUT this team runs DEEPER than those three guys. WIN WINNABLE GAMES

[Austin Pace @austin_pace14]

BYU has a unique opportunity to close this game out: They are in the DOUBLE BONUS with 9 minutes to go in the game. That's free throws the rest of the game. Stay aggressive and GET DOWNHILL

[Austin Pace @austin_pace14]

The entire BYU lineup looks like little kids chasing after a ball they dropped. STAY STRONG WITH THE BALL.

[Austin Pace @austin_pace14]

THE Jimmer Fredette everybody!!

32 will forever hang in the rafters of the Marriott Center!!

[Austin Pace @austin_pace14]

4-4 already from three, Wright and Mrus with a pair each. During the Cougs losing skid, they shot under 35% from three in each of those games. Getting hot from beyond the arc can create some BIG separation early against the Buffaloes.

[Austin Pace @austin_pace14]

We are not even one minute into the game and Saunders is down. As he heads to the Cougar locker room, he was able to walk off the court under his own power and gave the Marriott Center a thumbs up, which is a good sign.

[Austin Pace @austin_pace14]

The story of the game will inevitably be about Jimmer, but there is a much stronger storyline that I believe shouldn't be forgotten:

BYU is JUST coming off a losing streak after their win against Baylor, and while this should be an easy win, BYU needs to LOCK IN. DOMINANT BALL.
