Provo • BYU garnered considerable national buzz for ending No. 3-ranked Gonzaga's 41-game home winning streak last February at the Kennel, but the team that will face the Zags in the rematch on Thursday in Spokane doesn't look anything like that one.
Only three current players — seniors Kyle Collinsworth and Chase Fischer and sophomore Corbin Kaufusi — played in that upset last year. They've spent the last few days preparing their teammates for what should be a wild scene at McCarthey Activity Center, especially because GU's students returned to school on Tuesday.
"They have just told me how fun it is to play up there, and the environment," Kyle Davis said.
