LAS VEGAS — For the second consecutive season, BYU and Saint Mary’s will meet in the West Coast Conference tournament semifinals at Orleans Arena.
The Cougars are hoping for a much better showing this time around.
BYU has dropped five consecutive games to the Gaels overall, including a humiliating 31-point setback (81-50) in last year’s semifinals — marking Dave Rose’s most lopsided loss as the Cougar coach.
No. 3 seed BYU and No. 2 seed Saint Mary’s collide again Monday (9:30 p.m., MST, ESPN2) with a berth into the WCC championship game Tuesday night on the line.
