BYU almost certainly going to the NIT. It will be interesting to see how far they go. Historically BYU doesn't do that well in any kind of tourney (conference, NIT, NCAA).
BYU plays well if a team will let them run. Slow them down as Pacific did, and BYU is in trouble because it doesn't play smart. The defensive shifts and alignment is often very slow. I am a fan of BYU sports, but I am not a fan of the erratic play this team exhibits. Nick Emery is Carlino 2.0. He makes some great plays and some really bad plays. He made some shots he had not business taking.
