What to Know
The Brigham Young Cougars have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with the #2 Gonzaga Bulldogs and are hoping to record their first win since Feb. 22 of 2020. BYU and the Bulldogs will face off in a West Coast battle at 10 p.m. ET this past Saturday at Marriott Center. Gonzaga will be strutting in after a victory while the Cougars will be stumbling in from a defeat.
BYU entered their contest against the San Francisco Dons this past Thursday without any home losses — but there’s a first time for everything. BYU lost to San Francisco at home by a decisive 73-59 margin. A silver lining for BYU was the play of guard Alex Barcello, who had 25 points.
Meanwhile, the Bulldogs entered their game this past Thursday as the heavy favorite, and they fully lived up to the hype. They put the hurt on the San Diego Toreros with a sharp 92-62 victory. It was another big night for Gonzaga’s center Chet Holmgren, who dropped a double-double on 23 points and 12 rebounds along with four blocks.
BYU found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unfortunate 110-84 punch to the gut against Gonzaga in the teams’ previous meeting in January. Maybe BYU will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the matchup and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
