We are rolling toward Selection Sunday for the NCAA Tournament, with the Pac-12, Big East, Big 12, Big Ten and SEC tournaments kicking off today and the ACC tournament already underway.
Utah State won the Mountain West Conference Tournament, beating San Diego State and punching its ticket to the NCAA Tournament. Meanwhile, BYU lost to Saint Mary’s in the semifinal of the West Coast Conference Tournament, but are a virtual lock to claim an at-large bid to the Big Dance.
