Who's Playing

Brigham Young @ Weber State

Current Records: Brigham Young 8-2; Weber State 9-2

What to Know

The Brigham Young Cougars are 5-1 against the Weber State Wildcats since December of 2015, and they'll have a chance to extend that success this past Saturday. They will face off against one another at 8 p.m. ET at Dee Events Center. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'

The matchup between BYU and the Creighton Bluejays two weeks ago was not particularly close, with the Cougars falling 83-71. A silver lining for BYU was the play of guard Alex Barcello, who shot 5-for-7 from beyond the arc and finished with 28 points.

Meanwhile, Weber State entered their contest against the Utah State Aggies this past Wednesday without any home losses -- but there's a first time for everything. Weber State lost to Utah State at home by a decisive 95-80 margin. Weber State's loss came about despite a quality game from forward Dillon Jones, who dropped a double-double on 19 points and 11 boards.

The Cougars are the favorite in this one, with an expected 5.5-point margin of victory. Those burned by picking them against the spread last week might want to keep in mind that the team has not yet dropped back-to-back games against the spread this season.

The losses put BYU at 8-2 and the Wildcats at 9-2. Neither BYU (1-0 after losses) nor Weber State (also 1-0) has made a habit of hanging their heads after losses this season, so another slip-up will be unusual territory for either squad.
