What to Know

The Utah Utes have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. They will square off against the Brigham Young Cougars at 6 p.m. ET Saturday at Marriott Center. After both teams made easy work of their previous opponents, one of them is set up to suffer a discouraging change of fortune.

The Utes entered their matchup on Tuesday as the heavy favorite, and they fully lived up to the hype. They took their game against the Texas-San Antonio Roadrunners by a conclusive 91-70 score. Among those leading the charge for Utah was center Branden Carlson, who had 27 points along with eight rebounds and four blocks.

Meanwhile, everything came up roses for BYU at home against the Western Oregon Wolves on Thursday as the team secured a 97-64 win.

Their wins bumped Utah to 9-2 and BYU to 7-5. Both Utah and the Cougars have easy wins in recent memory. We'll see which one's ego takes a hit when they face off.
