Aside from the five-minute or so stretch when coach Mark Pope asked for silence in the arena so players could practice free throws in that kind of tense environment, BYU was a talkative, rowdy and even playful bunch Wednesday morning as the Cougars prepared for their NCAA Tournament game against Duquesne at CHI Health Center.
