I dodged a few bullets with this year's NCAA Basketball Tournament. Not only did BYU (25-9) and Boise State (25-8) make the playoff field, but they avoid playing each-other, despite being in one of two play-in games involving the exact same seed (#11). And did I mention that #11 is a lucky number in Boise?
This marks the first time since 2013 that the teams have made the NCAA Tournament. Thanks to a win at Gonzaga, Collinsworth's triple double record and Tyler Haws's all time scoring record, BYU fans should remember this year for a long time. Derrick Marks, who shoots almost 50% from the field, was key in guiding this year's squad from Boise, which had a pretty strong start and finish to the season (in the middle of the season they lost 4 games in a row due to the injury of Anthony Drmic).
