exacerbates the problem, but only one day off in the NCAA tournament also has an impact.

If BYU wins the first round game, I expect the second round game to be a slightly off shooting night, made worse if they are facing a top defense. This team has shown an ability to win in a variety of ways. They will need to dig deep and get a bit creative to make it to the second week of the NCAA tournament.

This season has been a success. Normally I wouldn't say that without an NCAA tourney win, but with a first year head coach in his first March Madness, and with a win against Iowa State in the Big XII tournament, I will go ahead and say it. A loss on Thursday would sting, but not take away from the learning and improvement made this season.
