PROVO — BYU is missing out on the NCAA Tournament for the third consecutive season.
The last time the Cougars failed to go to the NCAAs for three straight years was from 1995-99, when they were shut out of postseason play altogether.
However, BYU (24-10) is expected to receive a bid to the National Invitation Tournament for the third year in a row.
NIT pairings will be unveiled Sunday at 6:30 p.m. MST on ESPNU.
The NIT features a field of 32 teams, divided into four regions. Regular-season conference champions that aren’t invited to the NCAA Tournament are given automatic bids to the NIT.
