If they sign Wright, BYU will likely be a preseason Top 10 team and a strong contender to make their first Final Four, depending on their draw.

BYU has made 32 NCAA Tournaments and zero Final Four appearances (most NCAAT appearances without a Final Four).
Before this year's tournament, BYU had only 2+ games in the NCAA Tournament twice
2011 Sweet 16 (Jimmer's senior season) and 1981 Elite 8 (Danny Ainge's senior season)
