Postseason play is here for the BYU Cougars. They play in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament in Kansas City on Tuesday night — Their opponent, the Kansas State Wildcats. BYU is the 10th seed in the tournament, while K State is the 15th.
BYU enters the conference tournament with a 21-10 record, and finished at 9-9 in the Big 12. The Cougars enter the tourney with some momentum after beating no. 10 (now no. 16) Texas Tech by a final score of 82-76 in the regular season finale. That big win, after dropping three games in a row.
Kansas State has a 12-19 overall record and went 3-15 in conference play. Their season finale was at no. 14 Kansas on Saturday, where they lost by a final score of 104-85. They are playing under Matthew Driscoll, after Jerome Tang was fired midseason.
