What to Know

The Utah Utes have the luxury of staying at home another game and will welcome the Brigham Young Cougars at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday at Jon M. Huntsman Center. The neutral point spread forecasts a close one for these two.

In a sloppy game that saw the teams combine for 24 turnovers, Utah took down the UC Davis Aggies 77-73 last Friday. The Utes' success was spearheaded by the efforts of G Rylan Jones, who had 18 points and five assists, and F Timmy Allen, who had 20 points.

Meanwhile, BYU simply couldn't be stopped, as they easily beat the Montana Tech Oredigger 98-63.

Their wins bumped the Utes to 5-2 and the Cougars to 6-3. A couple offensive stats to keep an eye on: The Utes come into the game boasting the 10th highest field goal percentage in the league at 50.60%. The Cougars are not quite as good, but they are no chumps, either: they enter the contest with 48.30% field goal percentage, good for 24th best in college basketball. We'll find out if either of these strengths ends up making the difference in the matchup.
