At-Large Bid
How They Got Here: Throw out the middle third of the season and BYU's record is a lot more impressive. But even with five of its eight losses coming in January, the Cougars impressed enough committee members. And why not? BYU won nine straight until losing to Utah in the MWC semifinals, beating regular season champion Air Force and the Utes during the streak. The season started with nine wins in 11 games, including a signature win over Oklahoma State in Salt Lake City. All eight regular season losses came on the road.

PLAYER TO WATCH      
Rafael Araujo | C | Senior
There aren't many bigger, or better, centers in the country than Araujo, who was named co-player of the year in the MWC. The Brazilian ranked among the top five in five MWC categories as the Cougars' leader in scoring, rebounds, steals and blocks. Araujo recorded 14 double-doubles during the season and was a Wooden Award midseason top 30 selection.
