BYU basketball: WCC championship or NCAA tournament run
Which of these would you prefer this season if you could only pick one or the other?

It's time for a WCC banner to be hung in the Marriott Center. 3 wins in the NCAA tourney and I change my vote. But a first 4 and a first round win is not better (in my mind) than a WCC championship.

Re: BYU basketball: WCC championship or NCAA tournament run
The problem we're having since moving to the WCC is that our team hasn't been as good and Gonzaga is way better than any other MWC team ever was when we were in it. But fans tend to see all conference championships as the same, even across conferences.

I'm embarrassed by the fact that BYU has never been truly competitive in the WCC.

Re: BYU basketball: WCC championship or NCAA tournament run
Agreed. Gonzaga is a legit program that will be strong for years to come. BYU possibly is getting the horses to stop a team like Gonzaga which may mean winning a WCC championship AND winning a couple games in the postseason.
What I want most is to be regular season champ in WCC... soon. I don't know if this poll is about regular season or league tournament. Regular season is a bigger deal to me because I think it shows overall team strength, not a flash in the pan moment for the final game.

Win the WCC and we would quite likely win at least two games in the NCAA, seeding and all.

Re: BYU basketball: WCC championship or NCAA tournament run
I think I agree with you, but I hadn't thought about First 4. I assumed two tournament wins meant Sweet 16, which I would take over a WCC championship.ABYUFAN wrote:It's time for a WCC banner to be hung in the Marriott Center. 3 wins in the NCAA tourney and I change my vote.

Re: BYU basketball: WCC championship or NCAA tournament run
As much as I want a WCC championship, I would still take a Sweet 16 run. Better national recognition and better for recruiting. BYU hasn't had many Sweet 16 runs in it's history.

Re: BYU basketball: WCC championship or NCAA tournament run
Does play in game win count? Because not winning the WCC probably means being in a play in tourney game.
