Against Ione I think.
As I recall BYU was up by 17 at halftime in its last play in game--in the "We score points but don't play a lick of defense" era. The opponent came back and won the game tying the record for the largest comeback in NCAA history that BYU had set a year or so prior against Iona. I don't remember who beat BYU. I try not to remember the painful moments; and come to think of it, that was BYU's last NCAA appearance (darn Covid).
I agree I like have the conference champions. But IMO all at-large bids and all seeding should be done by the NET ranking.

If some not very good team ends up winning their conference tournament they should get ranked as a 16 seed but they did win their conference so they should be in the tournament, otherwise you have the same situation as the football farcical playoffs where only teams from the SEC, ACC, and Big 10 are invited.
It was Mississippi and it was a brutal loss.jadesroom wrote: ↑Wed Jan 20, 2021 10:09 pmAs I recall BYU was up by 17 at halftime in its last play in game--in the "We score points but don't play a lick of defense" era.

Correction, Alabama, Ohio St, Clemson, and an at large bid.hawkwing wrote: ↑Wed Jan 20, 2021 10:00 am The idea of a play-in game for a 12 seed game makes sense if you think of the conference auto-bids.
