The Jimmer effect - what exactly was it?

I agree that happened during the regular season. There have been a few against the two teams I mentioned. However, that has NEVER been the case in wcc tournament games, though BYU made it to four finals and played at least one of those two teams every single year in the conference tournament. Don’t forget that in spite of whatever other reasons you may postulate, BYU never won a regular season title. Tweleve years of no conference title and no conference tournament title can’t be explained away so easily.

I had to move the discussion into the basketball category…
