that we're on the NIT bubble and a first-round home game is wishful thinking, unless we pick up a win against SMC or Gonzaga.

BYU isn't even on ESPN's Bubble Watch anymore; it's definitely looking like WCC

Running the table would make us 23-8

Except a win at gonzaga this year would be a great win along

cougarfann888

2/8/17 7:03am

Just like our win at gonzaga last year

Was gonzaga the number one team in the country at any point last year?

They were projected as a one seed at the time ended with a 2

you are thinking of 2 years ago. Last year Gonzaga was a bubble team themselves

Wouldn't we have a RPI of 36 and 98% chance of making the tourney if we win out?

Sorry, clarification...winning out until CG WCC tourney.

coug10278

good point. would give us 3 top 50 wins (assuming St. Mary's would stay top 50

BYU is at 2 or 3% odds to win 3 in a row in conference tourney.

Better wins and worse losses. 25 wins seems to be the magic number since we've joined the wcc

Finishing 3rd in WCC will be a challenge for BYU. No quality wins = no NCAA!

Fervent Cougar

Just win the conference tourney

As soon as we lost to San Diego it became "Well, if we win out..."

Yes. Hope is the last thing to go.

BYU is on NIT bubble watch - 5 or 6 seed, very much lower and autobids kick in

CBI bound indeed!

It's been this way for almost 3 weeks. Nothing new.

Nor should BYU be on the bubble. It does not have a Tourney resume.

Archaea

2/8/17 10:38am

If we run the table and get to WCC championship, we'll get in

zerome4sooners

or CBI
