BYU basketball has five games remaining in the regular season. The upcoming game at Arizona is the second most difficult game remaining according to KenPom. Below are the win probabilities for each of BYU’s remaining games.
KenPom’s projected record for BYU is 21.0-10.0. For BYU, the goal will be to get to 21 wins in the regular season. Getting to 21 wins would put BYU in a very good situation to make the NCAA Tournament regardless of what happens in the Big 12 tournament.
What does BYU need to do to get to 21 wins? The clearest path to 21 wins would be to protect home court and steal one of the last three road games. BYU needs to win at least three out of the last five to get to 21 wins. On paper, BYU’s best chance to get a road win would be against Arizona State. BYU beat the Sun Devils 76-56 to kickoff conference play.
