Unlike the men, BYU Women’s Basketball tips off West Coast Conference play on Saturday, when they’ll hit the road to take on Santa Clara.
The non-conference slate has to be considered a success. The Cougars sit at 8-3, with solid wins over TCU, Colorado State, and Northern Colorado. Their only bad loss came to Southern Utah.
As a result, BYU’s RPI sits at No. 56, which is firmly in the NCAA Tournament bubble range.
Which means that a strong run in WCC play could help BYU reach their first NCAA Tournament since 2016.
The conference is strong this year, though.
