It’s March, and that means postseason basketball. BYU kicks off play in the WCC Tournament in Las Vegas against Loyola Marymount on Friday night.
Five-seed BYU ended up 21-9 overall in the regular season, with a 9-6 conference record. Their last game was Saturday at the Marriott Center against Pepperdine. The Cougars won, 75-59. Last Thursday, BYU played LMU, beating them by 20 points — 79-59 the final score.
The Cougars and Lions also met up back on Feb. 10. That first meeting went into OT, with BYU winning, 83-82, to snap a four-game losing streak.
