BYU faded a bit in February but hopes for a March makeover in WCC basketball tournament

Provo • After the Cougars fizzled in the second half and lost 79-65 to No. 6 Gonzaga Saturday night, BYU assistant coach Tim LaComb joked that when he’s playing video games and things go badly, he simply hits re-set.

“Unfortunately, no re-set button here,” he said, summarizing how BYU went a somewhat disappointing 11-7 in West Coast Conference play, including a 4-4 mark in February.

Despite posting the most league losses ever since joining the West Coast Conference seven seasons ago, the Cougars finished exactly where they were picked — third — in the preseason coaches poll, LaComb noted.
