How unusual

How unusual that BYU will finish the season with a 5-1 record over the other top 3 teams of the conference and only end up possibly tied for 2nd (actually Gonzaga is likewise 5-1 over this same group). SF was 1-5 and SMC was therefore 1-5. That's just an unusal situation for the top 4 teams of a conference:



West Coast StandingsTEAM CONF OVERALL

Gonzaga 14-3 24-6

Brigham Young 12-5 20-10

San Francisco 12-5 19-10

Saint Mary's 11-6 21-9

Pepperdine 8-9 15-14

San Diego 7-10 16-14

Portland 7-10 15-14

Pacific 5-12 14-14

Santa Clara 5-12 12-18

Loyola Marymount 4-13 12-17

It's a blessing and curse, and what makes us such a dangerous tourney team -- we play to our competition.
