team in the league, never winning the conference, and leaving with zero conference tourney titles while never advancing past the round of 64 in the Dance.
BYU basketball has clearly regressed since joining the league. We entered as arguably an equal or superior program to Gonzaga, as a team that expected to win our conference every year, and had just beaten both top WCC teams the year before on neutral floors. We leave unable to beat either of them on our own court.
It’s frustrating to watch SMC and Gonzaga play realizing we failed to unseat either as one of the clear top 2 teams… If not embarrassing, the past decade has been deeply disappointing.
