SALT LAKE CITY — BYU’s game Thursday night at the Marriott Center shouldn’t be a tense affair. Pepperdine is the worst team in the West Coast Conference, loser of 12 of its last 13 and winless on the road.
If you can’t beat the Waves, your program has capsized.
But from the reaction of some fans, the shipwreck has already occurred. Ever since the Cougars fell at Saint Mary’s and San Diego, there has been discussion on-air and in print whether they’ve lost their mojo. At 13-6 overall and 4-2 in conference, they’re right where they’ve been since they started in the league.
