That happens Monday night, against a team that is just the opposite of the Cougars. BYU hosts experience-laden Princeton at 8 p.m. at the Marriott Center as part of the ESPN Tip-Off Marathon.
"Now we got a real challenge for our preparation for Princeton," Rose said. "This is a really good team coming in here. I am excited to get out there and play them. One advantage they have is they have been together as a group for quite awhile."
Indeed, the Tigers might have more returning experience than any team in Division I college basketball, "the most experienced team I think I've ever coached," said coach Mitch Henderson.
