PROVO — Every year since 2005-06, Dave Rose’s first season as head coach, BYU has played in either the NCAA Tournament or the National Invitation Tournament.
But that streak could end on Sunday.
The Cougars (19-13) lost three of their last four games, including an 80-57 pummeling at the hands of San Diego in the West Coast Conference Tournament a week ago.
Most NIT projections exclude BYU from of the 32-team field. The Cougars have played in the NIT the past three seasons and they’ve been bounced in the first round the past two seasons.
