BYU was doing its usual high-scoring offense cruising to some easy victories through their first three games before getting absolutely humbled by USC in the opening of the Roman Legends Classic. The Cougars shot 27.5 percent from the floor in the 79-53 loss. BYU turned it around, however, picking up a good win over St. John’s and carrying a close away in over a decent Utah State squad.
Joe Lunardi’s brackets are putting BYU as the second WCC school to make the NCAA Tournament. The talent is obviously there, but BYU will also have to get the wins to punch the ticket.
