If it was a stronger conference the WCC would get more than 2 teams into the tournament.
The sad part is I thought BYU would at least would have won 2 conference championships since joining the WCC.
BYU should be in a better conference for basketball or with some of the old rivalries.
As for Utah and Washington State you can say that the close score was due to being in the same conference and knowing each other tendencies. Or that teams get up for Utah now because they are in the top 15.
