It’s been a magical week for BYU basketball.
After routing No. 23 Kansas at home on Tuesday, the Cougars traveled south to stun No. 19 Arizona in an instant classic Saturday night on the road.
BYU’s winning ways have got plenty of fans and pundits talking. Here are some of the most notable reactions from social media Saturday.
What a week for BYU. The Cougars blow out Kansas and then beat Arizona in Tucson. Kevin Young & Co. have arrived. Getting better and better.

BYU’s 96 points in tonight’s win are the most by any visiting team in a game at McKale Center since December 28, 2009, when BYU beat Arizona 99-69, led by 49 from Jimmer Fredette.
That was BYU’s last visit to McKale — Arizona played 258 home games in the interim.

BYU is comfortably in the tournament. The #1 thing missing on BYU’s resume was a Quad 1A win. BYU got that with a road win at Arizona. 6 seed is on the table depending how BYU finishes. And BYU is playing GREAT ball

Don’t tell Arizona fans that they shot 11 more FTs than BYU. Doesn’t fit their agenda.

Like could you imagine if Arizonas AD just walked on to the court on that final inbounds pass? Wouldn’t that be a crazy thing to happen?

BYU has now won 47 in a row when leading with 5:00 left in the game.

I won’t even try to justify the foul call. Good, bad, doesn’t matter to me. BYU was in a position to win it and did. BYU scored 96 points at Arizona. That was fun.
