"BYU Basketball's Big 12 Tournament Run: Recap, Predictions, and Schedule"
TL;DR Summary
BYU coach Mark Pope humorously attributed his team's success to a series of coincidences involving the number 13 and Taylor Swift, leading to their 87-73 victory over UCF in the Big 12 conference tournament. Fousseyni Traore led BYU with 14 points and 10 rebounds, while UCF's Darius Johnson scored 32 points. BYU's strong defensive performance and 12-0 run in the second half secured their win, setting up a quarterfinal game against Texas Tech. UCF, despite a strong showing, will likely miss the NCAA Tournament.
