Five-Star BYU Commit Shares Three-Word Message Before Sweet 16

Alabama reached the Final Four last year, while BYU has had a successful first season under head coach Kevin Young.
Most experts, including Dick Vitale and Joe Lunardi, are predicting an Alabama victory.
BYU secured its Sweet 16 spot by defeating No. 11 VCU, 80-71, and then outlasting No. 3 Wisconsin, 91-89, in a thrilling game.
This marks BYU’s first Sweet 16 appearance since 2011, making it a significant milestone for the fanbase.

Dybansta plays for Utah Prep in Hurricane, Utah, and his decision to join BYU is a significant one.
