The BYU Cougars and the West Virginia Mountaineers will meet in Kansas City on Wednesday in the second day of the Big 12 Conference Tournament. The winner of this matchup will move onto the next round to play the Houston Cougars while the loser will go home. West Virginia needs to win this game to keep their NCAA Tournament hopes alive, but I do not see them having enough to keep pace with BYU. The Cougars have one of the best freshmen in all of college basketball in AJ Dybansta and I expect him to lead the Cougars to a win here. He had 40 points in their win against Kansas State in round one and should see more success in this one.

BYU has one of the best offenses in the country and they showcased that in their first game inside the T-Mobile Center, as the Cougars scored 105 points and shot an impressive 55 percent from the field. Since February 1, BYU’s offense is ranked 21st nationally in adjusted offensive efficiency while West Virginia’s defense is ranked just 120th in that department. The Mountaineers are just 2-9 over their last 11 games, and I do not see them being able to keep it within the number in this one. Lay the points with BYU.
