Social Media Took Off After BYU’s Historic Win Over No. 2 Gonzaga

PROVO, Utah – No. 23 BYU’s 91-78 victory over the No. 2 ranked Gonzaga Bulldogs was one for the record books. It resulted in the second court storming in the history of the Marriott Center. BYU improved to 23-7 on the season and 12-3 in West Coast Conference play.

Social media as you would expect was on fire with reaction from BYU’s big win over the Zags.

*****

People are starting to believe in what Mark Pope and BYU could potentially do in the NCAA Tournament.

BYU just blew up the 1-seed race with a convincing victory over Gonzaga. Two spots on the top-line are very much up for grabs now.

“It spreads.” Attention for BYU basketball is growing.

BYU drops 91 on Gonzaga in Provo. Best Cougars team we've seen since Jimmer Fredette. Mark Pope doing yeoman's work in Year One.
