To the Pacific Tigers of the West Coast Conference: this BYU basketball team looks nothing like the one that you faced as an in-conference foe a few years ago. The head coach is different, the patch on the uniforms is different, the faces, highlights, playmakers, and shot takers are all vastly different than what you grew accustomed to as a WCC rival. Except for Richie Saunders. He's still here.
Kevin Young's squad, standing with a 9-1 record and a lone 2-point loss against Dan Hurley's UConn Huskies, is in the home stretch of the non-conference schedule.
