Looking at our losses to predict our future

BYU is 29-5 this year.



Those 5 losses have all come to teams that are in the NCAA tournament. I cannot remember a time that this has ever happened in BYU history.



BYU has lost those games by an average of less then 7 points.



The highest seed of the teams that have beaten BYU is 3 and the lowest is 12.



Every team that BYU lost to this year has played BYU at least 6 times in the last 7 years. Meaning that all the teams that BYU lost to are VERY familiar with how BYU plays. It is far easier to beat a team that you have played many times before. This is why league play, no matter what league you are in, is so tough.



These are the reasons why I think BYU has a great run in the tournament this year. I think BYU beats Florida. K-State will be a tough game but if we beat them then I don't see any reason why we don't make it to the Elite 8.



I know I'm talking crazy but to be honest this is the first year where I feel like BYU has a legitimate chance of having a great run.

Win the first game and get the monkey off their backs. Play K St. next and they will more loose with a better chance to pull the upset. SLC and they got a shot to make a run.

Beat Florida and then in the second round all of the Kansas fans that are in attendance will make it a virtual home game for BYU against their rival Kansas State
