“Secrets Unveiled: Will a Game-Changing Strategy Shift the Odds in This Sweet 16 Showdown?”

BYU is 26-9 coming into this game and not a team that I followed overly closely this season. They flew a bit under the radar as they weren’t ranked for the majority of the season. They did eventually climb into the rankings, but they certainly weren’t a mainstay. They finished 3rd in the Big 12 this season and had a 14-6 record in conference play. They, like basically everyone in that conference, lost to Houston in the regular season and then they lost again in the Conference Tournament. The regular season conference losses came at the hands of Houston, Texas Tech, TCU, Utah, Arizona, and Cincinnati. I won’t say all of those were acceptable losses, but for the most part, they were expected. The other games that they dropped were against Ole Miss and Providence. In the first two games of the NCAA Tournament they took down VCU and narrowly escaped Wisconsin. The game against VCU was still pretty close, but they were favorites in that. Against Wisconsin, they tried as hard as they could to blow the game. They were up eight points with fewer than 90 second remaining and only could win by two points.
