About a year ago, Charlie Sheen talked a lot about ‘winning.’ While using the term winning has become a cultural phenomenon and a famous hashtag on Twitter, winning is something BYU basketball and Dave Rose know something about. Here are some of the #winning facts under Rose, BYU’s head coach since 2005.
-
6-consecutive 20-win seasons
-
5-consecutive 25-win seasons
-
2-consecutive 30-win seasons
-
114 wins from 2007 to 2011 — most wins in a four-year stretch in program history
-
From the 2008-09 season to now, BYU has won 101 games and Charles Abouo has played in every victory and every game during that stretch
-
Abouo, Jimmer Fredette (112), Jackson Emery (106) and Jonathan Tavernari (103) are the four Cougars to have played in 100 victories
-
Noah Hartsock has played in 96 victories (he missed six games in 2008-09 with an ankle sprain) and is poised to become the next member of the 100-win club
-

-

There are probably more facts that could be added to the list, but it’s clear that while Sheen talked a lot about #winning last year, BYU basketball has been doing it for a while.
