Fate officially caught up to BYU men's basketball after a 77-58 loss to Washington State Wednesday night, reaching the bitter end of an awkward season in Provo.
Just days after Cincinnati guard Mike Saunders Jr. revealed he was in the NCAA transfer portal for the second-straight season, the former Wasatch Academy standout revealed that BYU and Utah have both reached out for his services.
A late 21-point scoring run propelled BYU men's basketball to a 93-72 NIT opening-round victory over Long Beach State Wednesday night in Provo, more than compensating for early mistakes to mark the program's first NIT win since 2016.
