“Just being 100% honest,” Te'Jon Lucas said of the tone of Sunday’s meeting. “That’s what we need and that’s what we have to do in order to overcome things like this.”
And it’s not getting any easier for BYU, which faces San Francisco on Thursday and No. 2 Gonzaga on Saturday. Both of those games, which could further sink BYU’s NCAA Tournament résumé if they end up as losses, are at the Marriott Center.
“We’ve spent the last miserable and really awful and really beautiful last couple of days having really, really hard, really, really over-the-top emotional conversations with each other inside of our team, trying to dig deep,” Pope said. The reason the Cougars can have such meaningful dialogue is because of how close they’ve grown as human beings, Pope said. But that’s not to say there aren’t some bumps in the road along the way in the growth process.
BYU has just seven games remaining in its regular-season schedule, a stretch Pope called “the championship third of the season.” The Cougars sit fourth in the WCC and 33rd in the NCAA’s NET going into Thursday’s game.
