Dick Harmon: BYU women outboarded in big way, sent packing after WCC tourney exit

LAS VEGAS — Losing is never fun and Jeff Judkins team was on borrowed time during its two-game run in the West Coast Conference Tournament at the Orleans Arena.

Missed big moments finally caught up with the Cougars Monday afternoon when St. Mary’s, a team that tied BYU in the regular conference season, sent the Cougars back to Provo with a physically dominating performance and a 59-49 decision.

But you could see this coming.

It was like watching a talented trapeze act hit the safety net too many times.

The Cougars opened this tourney falling behind San Diego 21-3 before making a dramatic comeback to win in overtime.
