The Cougars just took San Francisco 72 to 63. That's 2 wins on the road for BYU! They had 40 to San Francisco's 18 in the paint.

Good win. It will help our net score. It is a Q2 win.

San Francisco just move from 84 to 68 (now need stay in the top 75) with last nights big win @Santa Clara, which currently scores as Q1 win for BYU. Here I thought St Mary's would maybe move enough to be a Q1 win for BYU, but today they came in at #76. If St Mary's can move and hold in the top 75 that would be one more Q1 win for BYU.

What a difference a day can make in both good and bad in the NET rankings, Yester day was a good day for the WCC on a whole:
#2 Gonzaga- same
#27 BYU- up 2 (#29 yesterday)
#69 San Francisco- down 1
#74 St Mary's- up 2 (gives BYU another Q1 win)
#113 Loyola Marymount- up 18
#123 Pacific- down 6
#149 Santa Clara- down 3
#150 Pepperdine- up 6
#277 San Diego- up 3
#285 Portland- down 2 (they didn't move yesterday after getting blown out by BYU, so down 2 today is not that bad)

Their projections are not very correct IMO, because it does not factor in the amount of Q1 and Q2 games played (we know the committee does). They have 3 currently projected from the MWC, Utah St is 0-1 Q1's and 3-3 Q2's vs say Richmond 2-1 Q1's and 4-0 Q2's who is not project in only 3 spots behind Utah St (#49 Utah St; #52 Richmond).
