Doesn't seem likely with a home game against OSU Saturday. They hold the head to head against KU and TCU, two teams likely to be tied with the if they win.

Yeah, does Baylor have some committee-favored stat like a better record vs. Quad 1 or something?
Katz has us a #2 as do others https://www.ncaa.com/news/basketbal...redictions-andy-katzs-first-projections-march
I found this somewhat fascinating. Three of BYU's players are Muslim and are about to have to deal with Ramadan fasting during the tournament. I just assumed that everyone - or at least nearly everyone - that goes to BYU is Morman.
How BYU's Muslim players will balance basketball with observing Ramadan
Three members of BYU's No. 20-ranked men's basketball team are Muslim and will begin observing Ramadan at sundown on Sunday. Egyptian Aly Khalifa plans to fast during daylight hours, while Fouss Traore and Atiki Ally Atiki will observe the Islamic holy month in other ways
Probably no different than Baylor or Notre Dame. Not everyone at those schools are Baptist or Catholic.I found this somewhat fascinating.

Really liked how TJ stated their game being 1st they'll be for all intensive purposes player for the regular season championship.
Exhibit one, Jim McMahon.I found this somewhat fascinating. Three of BYU's players are Muslim and are about to have to deal with Ramadan fasting during the tournament. I just assumed that everyone - or at least nearly everyone - that goes to BYU is Morman.

To be fair, cant blame them for wanting to witness real basketball for the first time this year. Absolutely hilarious to me that they wont buy tickets to watch Iowa, but will buy tickets for ISU!I noticed some fans wearing BYU gear last night & I said, "Welcome to Iowa State". I asked where they were from & a gentleman replied, "Iowa City"....
When I was there, there were a fair number of Muslim students. Their parents liked that the honor code aligned somewhat with their values, especially on sex and booze.I found this somewhat fascinating.

The percentage of LDS at BYU is most likely much higher than percentage of Catholics at ND or Baptists at Baylor.
Probably 95% or more. I only knew a couple non-LDS very well. One guy who transferred there because he was sick of the liberal indoctrination (paraphrasing what I remember) of the first school he was at.
Another girl from Norway. I actually can't remember at all how she ended up there.

Jones showed good post moves when he made the basket that put ISU ahead 64-63
I was trying to tell them from the start 10-8 is great. They somehow won in their first try at Phog but I think last night might help them get it.
They should’ve been ranked all season. 5th or 6th best team in deep elite 14 team conference.
BYU's upset bid falls just short as No. 20 Cougars lose 68-63 at No. 6 Iowa State Wednesday at Hilton Coliseum
BYU took a 38-27 lead at halftime and led by as many as 14 points in the second half, but the wheels came off down the stretch and Iowa State eked out a 68-63 win in front of a sellout crowd at Hilton Coliseum
One of the guys on their board said Saunders fouled him several seconds before while the shot was in the air, but it appears that Saunders was on the other side of the lane than Rob. It was on the putback.
