BYU Men’s Basketball | Mark Pope | Media Availability | March 5, 2021
PROVO — It's been 10 days since BYU basketball wrapped up the regular season with a 65-51 win over Saint Mary's on senior night in Provo, the second consecutive senior night that ended victorious under second-year coach Mark Pope — though the Cougars' win over the Gaels wasn't nearly as celebrated as a court-storming victory over Gonzaga a year ago.
That's 10 days without a game, 10 days without an opponent, and — until the 11th hour Saturday night — 10 days without even the knowledge of an opponent. As many as three teams could have been in line for BYU (19-5) when they open the West Coast Conference as the No. 2 seed in Las Vegas on Monday night (10 p.m. MT, ESPN2).
