BYU stands alone in the Women\u2019s Basketball Invitation Tournament.<\/p>\n

The Cougars are the only No. 1 seed remaining.<\/p>\n

Fellow No. 1 seeds Utah and Texas A&M lost in the WBIT\u2019s opening round last Thursday, and on Sunday, another No. 1, North Dakota State, also went down.<\/p>\n

All three lost by double-digits.<\/p>\n

Can BYU survive the second round?<\/p>\n

\n

BYU (23-11) vs. Missouri (17-16)
WBIT second round<\/strong>
When:<\/strong> Monday, 7 p.m. MDT
Where: <\/strong>Marriott Center (Provo)
Livestream:<\/strong> ESPN+
Radio: <\/strong>BYU Radio<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Cougars are playing one day later then the rest of the second-round action, due to the school\u2019s no-Sunday policy. On Monday night, they\u2019ll host Missouri (7 p.m. MDT, ESPN+) at the Marriott Center in the single-elimination tournament.<\/p>\n

Including the Big 12 tournament, BYU is 3-1 in postseason action, including a 72-47 win over Alabama A&M<\/a> in the WBIT\u2019s first round.<\/p>\n

The Cougars (23-11) have won six of their past seven games and are playing arguably their best ball of the season. While it didn\u2019t land BYU a spot in the NCAA Tournament, it earned them a top seed in the WBIT.<\/p>\n

In last week\u2019s win, freshman point guard Sydney Benally scored 18 points, hit four 3-pointers and set single-season program records for freshman assists (139) and freshman games started (34). <\/p>\n

Monday\u2019s matchup allows BYU the rare opportunity to host an SEC opponent. No. 4 seeded Missouri (17-16) is coming off a 67-57 win over Seton Hall to advance.<\/p>\n

When asked during an ESPN+ postgame interview last Thursday the key to face Missouri, Benally said, \u201cJust continue trusting in our coaches and our teammates and have confidence in ourselves \u2014 just drive to keep playing in the postseason.”<\/p>\n

The Tigers went 4-12 in conference play, and prior to the win over Seton Hall, Missouri had lost seven straight \u2014 though that came in the SEC, which placed 10 teams in the NCAA Tournament, second only to the Big Ten\u2019s 12.<\/p>\n

Missouri is led by two junior guards, Grace Slaughter and Shannon Dowell. <\/p>\n

Slaughter leads the Tigers in scoring (18.7 points per game) and rebounding (6.8) while shooting 45.5% from the floor, and she was named All-SEC second team. Dowell adds 15.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game. <\/p>\n

\u201cNot too often we get SEC team to come here on our court, so really looking forward to it,\u201d BYU coach Lee Cummard said on BYU Radio following the win over Alabama A&M. \u201c(They\u2019re) very talented, move the ball, share it, shoot the three better than we do. It\u2019s going to be a good match for us. <\/p>\n

\u201c… They really execute what they want to do offensively and are sound defensively.\u201d<\/p>\n

With Sunday\u2019s other results, the BYU women are now the only Utah Division I basketball team still playing \u2014 Utah State lost to Arizona in the NCAA men\u2019s tournament, while Southern Utah fell to Pepperdine in the WNIT. <\/p>\n

If BYU wins Monday, it will host a third-round game against the ACC\u2019s Stanford on Thursday in the WBIT\u2019s third round. The Cardinal beat Quinnipiac in their second-round contest Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n

After the third round, the WBIT heads to Charles Koch Arena in Wichita, Kansas, for the semifinals and championship. The semifinals take place March 30, and the title game on April 1.<\/p>\n

For a BYU team filled with youthful talent in leaders like Delaney Gibb, Benally, Oliva Hamlin and Brinley Cannon, the longer a run the Cougars can have, the better to build momentum going into next season.<\/p>\n

Plus, it will be BYU\u2019s second test against an SEC foe \u2014 in November, the Cougars lost to then-No. 17 Vanderbilt in the U.S. Virgin Islands Paradise Jam. The Commodores, who beat BYU by 13, earned a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re battle tested. To go on the road in the SEC is no small feat,\u201d Cummard said of Monday\u2019s opponent. \u201c… We got our hands full, but I\u2019m hoping Monday night, family night here in the Marriott Center, all Cougar nation wants to show, come out and show support for this group \u2018cause it\u2019s been a fun year so far.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
