Rocking Royal » No. 23 BYU basketball rides 6-win streak + BYU CB coach Jernaro Gilford on spring football

The 23rd-ranked Cougars seem to be peaking at the right time, and have locked up an NCAA Tournament bid for the third time in five years. That's according to ESPN's Joe Lunardi, who moved BYU into one of six locks from the Big 12 for the field of 68.

BYU ranks 23rd in the Associated Press Top 25, 26th in the NCAA's preferred evaluation tool (or NET rankings), and 25th in KenPom's predictive metrics. The Cougars have been playing like the third-best team in the country during their six-game winning streak that started Feb. 11 at West Virginia, according to barttorvik.com.
