Updated NCAA Tournament Projections for BYU Basketball

BYU men's basketball wrapped up the regular season with two wins over San Francisco and Saint Mary's last week. The Cougars head into the WCC tournament as the #2 seed, with an opportunity to play #3 Pacific in the Semifinals should the Tigers advance. Below are the updated NCAA tournament projections for BYU.

ESPN Joe Lunardi

Lunardi has BYU penciled in as a #7 seed in his latest bracketology. In Lunardi's projections, the Cougars would face #10 North Carolina for an opportunity to play either #2 Alabama or #15 Cleveland State in the second round.

According to Lunardi, BYU has at least 80% chance to make the NCAA tournament. The Cougars dropped below the 80% threshold a few weeks ago when they lost to Pepperdine.
