BYU coach Dave Rose said Tuesday that tonight's game marks the start of a new two-year contract, but wasn't sure why it is being played on a Wednesday night again. It begins a three-game run for BYU against instate teams; The Cougars will meet Weber State on Saturday at the Utah Jazz arena in SLC and Utah State on Dec. 9 in Provo.
Weber State and Utah State both played Tuesday night and neither will play again until they meet BYU.
"You look at these 10 games, eight are away from our building," Rose said. "Once you get to league, it is really important to be playing your best.
