The Gonzaga Bulldogs waltzed into the Marriott Center and handed the BYU Cougars their fourth consecutive loss in convincing fashion with a 90-57 rout.
What began as a wobble for the Cougars last weekend in California culminated with the Zags likely putting a nail in the coffin of BYU’s NCAA tournament aspirations. The Cougars weren’t expected to win this game when assessing their tournament credentials, but the Selection Committee also has eyes and were likely watching this game to see how BYU measured up against the conference’s gold standard. They did not make a strong case for themselves in the proverbial eye test.
