Dick Harmon: Are Cougars improved enough to go into 19th-ranked Saint Mary's and make some noise?

Is the BYU basketball team good enough to go into Moraga, California, and beat 19th-ranked Saint Mary’s?

Has Dave Rose’s squad put enough distance between Thursday and that bad home December memory of losing to Utah Valley, the night the Wolverines scored a zillion NBA-like points?

Maybe.

Or ...

No, and heck no, if you go by some ranking services. Ken Pomeroy has Saint Mary’s 19th and BYU 58th; Jeff Sagarin has the Gaels 32nd and the Cougars 60th; and RealTime RPI.com has Saint Mary’s 31st and BYU 111th.

It is a big enough battle among for one of the ESPN family to peek in for a look-see.
