BYU will get its second chance of the season against Saint Mary’s in Moraga Thursday evening on ESPN2. This time, the Gaels are ranked no. 16. Needless to say, this is a huge opportunity for the Cougars to get a very nice resume win, and perhaps get back into the NCAA bubble conversation. It’s also a chance for the Cougs to get some revenge for that OT loss in Provo.
Saint Mary’s comes into the game on a 14-game winning streak while the Cougs are on a four game one. The Gaels are the lone undefeated team in the WCC (7-0), after their victories over Gonzaga and Pacific last week.
