28 days and five games. From December 12th to January 10th.
That’s the road stretch that BYU Basketball has finally concluded.
That’s the road stretch that has effectively sunk their season.
Before their extended time away from the Marriott Center began, the Cougars sat at 8-4. Not great, but not horrible either. They’d just come off three straight wins, including two big ones against Utah and Utah State.
Now they’re 9-8 and far closer to finishing the season with a losing record than finishing it in the NCAA Tournament.
Confidence Shaken
It’s been a road stretch that BYU has only faced once before in the last 30 years.
