BYU earned a huge victory Monday night in the West Coast Conference Tournament semifinals for the right to play No. 6 Gonzaga in the tournament title game Tuesday night, but with last night's championship game loss, it's likely they'll end up in the National Invitation Tournament for the third consecutive season.
One projection has BYU playing at Utah in the first round of the NIT next week. According to nycbuckets.com, the Cougars would be a No. 7 seed visiting the No. 2 Utes.
Earlier this season, BYU beat Utah in Provo, 77-65.
