What to Know

The San Diego Toreros have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. The Toreros and the Brigham Young Cougars will face off in a West Coast battle at 9 p.m. ET on Thursday at Marriott Center. San Diego has some work to do to even out the 3-9 series between these two since February of 2016, but a win here would be a good start.

San Diego didn't have too much breathing room in their matchup with the Loyola Marymount Lions on Saturday, but they still walked away with a 70-65 victory. San Diego got double-digit scores from four players: forward Terrell Brown (13), guard Joey Calcaterra (12), forward Yavuz Gultekin (11), and guard Marcellus Earlington (11).

Meanwhile, BYU sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 71-69 win over the San Francisco Dons on Saturday. BYU's guard Alex Barcello did his thing and had 18 points along with seven boards.

The Toreros have to know they'll be fighting an uphill battle given the 15 point spread they are up against. Those playing the odds have seen things go back and forth with San Diego, who are 7-8 against the spread.

Their wins bumped San Diego to 10-7 and BYU to 15-4. Watch the game and check back on CBS Sports to find out who keeps up the positive energy and who hits a stumbling block.
