BYU Basketball’s margin of error is dwindling rapidly.
The team’s primary goal this year is a return to the NCAA Tournament, and those chances are slipping away. The Cougars have already lost six games, including every key game that would have boosted their resume.
Coach Dave Rose’s new philosophy of playing a harder schedule revolved around one concept – being able to beat at least some of those hard teams.
That hasn’t happened.
But BYU has a major opportunity to change all of that when they take on No. 19 Mississippi State on Saturday morning.
