The excitement of BYU basketball continues as the Cougars make their way back into the Marriott Center for a two-night extravaganza. The team will take on Mount Saint Mary’s Friday, Nov. 15, and Colorado Mesa Saturday, Nov. 16, at 7:30 pm.
The Cougars recently traveled to the Maples Pavilion to compete in ESPN’s Tip-off Marathon, where they outplayed Stanford 112-103. The Cougars have enjoyed an untarnished record this season and have been projected to finish second in the West Coast Conference behind Gonzaga.
