Brigham Young Cougars head coach Dave Rose cheers for his team as the BYU Cougars and San Diego Toreros play in WCC tournament action at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday, March 10, 2019. San Diego won 80-57.
For the first time in the Dave Rose era, BYU isn’t headed to a national postseason tournament, ending the Cougars' season.
The Cougars did not make both premier national postseason tournaments — the NCAA Tournament or National Invitation Tournament, as the fields were announced Sunday — after losing three of their last four games for a 19-13 record, including a lopsided loss to San Diego in the West Coast Conference Tournament quarterfinals.
