On balance, did anyone have tourney expectations going into the season?

We got robbed in hindsight, but TBH, UCLA was seeded correctly

Yeah this doesn’t help at all

Barcello played a great game! I feel like most of those shots were his

It was BYU who shot that well (mostly Barcello on those shots)

Haha. Yeah I kept telling my BIL I'd be happy to give them deep two's all game

Couldn't handle UCLA's defensive pressure and it messed with offensive rhythm

IIRC, we went on about a 10-0 run to cut it to 4, but then UCLA went on about an

Yeah, 43-39 with 14:22 left after a 10-0 BYU run

Glass half full: As good as they were, they could never bring the hammer down

I felt we played our worst 60 minutes of basketball in the last 1.5 games

They lost in the Final 4 to Gonzaga in OT. I’m not upset we lost at all

It's just a little frustrating.

Compared to expected wins (based on seeding), we're ... not good

UCLA was a top 4 team in the tourney. Like losing to Bama in football.

Your issue should be less with BYU and more with the WCC.
