This weekend served as another reminder for BYU, and really other WCC fans. This league makes it very difficult to assemble big time NCAA postseason metrics.
Gonzaga and Saint Mary’s are both in the middle of excellent seasons, but neither found themselves ranked in the top 16 during the early seeding announcements. And BYU’s NCAA chances are almost certainly shot unless they win the WCC Tournament, even though they’re likely to win around 23 games in the regular season. Come late February, they’ve found themselves in familiar territory as of late. Either squarely on the NCAA bubble, or sliding off deep into NIT territory.
