Everyone, both inside and outside the BYU basketball family, knew that some change was needed.
The wins and losses count. But from a broad perspective, 22 -12 won’t leave you weeping into your pillow at night. It was more they way the Cougars lost in their losses. Dropping league games to Pepperdine and San Diego. The way they lost cohesion as a team on the floor.
Especially at the end of the year, when a squad should be playing its best.
Only a daring few placed bets that the Cougars would topple Saint Mary’s in the conference tournament.
