Selection Sunday is just two days away and the latest Bracketology from Joe Lunardi has the BYU moving up as the Cougars get set to play in the Big 12 Tournament semifinals vs. Houston on Friday night.

BYU picked up a hard-fought 96-92 win over Iowa State on Thursday behind and incredible shooting performance and is on the rise as a result. While still on the five-line, the Cougars are inching closer to a four-seed and are now projected to face No. 12 seed McNeese.

According to Lunardi, BYU would be in the East Regional and would go to Providence, Rhode Island for their first two round games, and if they advance to the Sweet 16, would play in Newark, New Jersey for the Regional semifinals and finals.

 

Lunardi has the Top 4 seeds in the East as: No. 1 Duke, No. 2 Tennessee, No. 3 Iowa State, and No. 4 Maryland.

Meantime, Lunardi has eight Big 12 teams in his latest Bracketology for Friday, March 14th, 2025.

Here’s a quick look at each of the Big 12 projected seeds and matchups, as of Friday afternoon.
