BYU basketball is cruising through a wild ride in the Big 12, but after a streak of four straight conference wins, they’ve hit some major potholes that could threaten their postseason dreams. With their recent back-to-back losses, including a tough defeat at Cincinnati, the Cougars (15-8, 6-6) are facing a pivotal moment. The damage is repairable, but time is ticking, and there’s a long road ahead to fix it.
First-year coach Kevin Young and his staff now find themselves in a high-pressure pit stop. They’ll have just one practice before taking on a critical matchup against West Virginia (15-8, 6-6) on Tuesday night (5 p.m., CBSSN). It’s a race against the clock to get the team back on track, and Young will need to work fast—like a pit crew at Daytona—to turn the Cougars’ fortunes around.
Despite getting outshot, outrebounded, and outworked by Cincinnati, BYU can find some hope in knowing that nearly every other team in the Big 12 is facing similar struggles. With potholes all over the conference road, the Cougars are not alone in this battle for March supremacy. The race is still wide open, and it’s all about who can navigate the roughest terrain. Will BYU rise to the challenge? Stay tuned!
