Summary
BYU Cougars women’s basketball team finished the season with a 26-12 record under head coach Lee Cummard, earning an invitation to the Women’s Basketball Invitational Tournament. They knocked out the Kansas Jayhawks before losing to the Columbia Lions. The team drew attention for not practicing on Sundays due to religious reasons, led by Delaney Gibb, who scored 12 points in their win over Kansas.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
BYU’s faith-based decision to skip practice on Sundays raised eyebrows, but the team played well enough to knock out Kansas.
Delaney Gibb’s 12 points led the team to victory, but they ultimately lost to Columbia.
This one felt recognizable early, as the Cougars’ Sunday practice policy became a talking point.
It’s a decision that’s bigger than basketball, but it’s still a game BYU wants to win.
Original Observation: The team’s faith-based decision to skip practice on Sundays will always be a talking point, but it’s not a guarantee of success on the court.
