BYU hoping to carry confidence, momentum into big showdown against No. 4 Gonzaga

PROVO — While BYU is coming off arguably its best win of the season — an impressive home victory last week against Saint Mary’s — a daunting challenge awaits.

The Cougars host No. 4 Gonzaga Thursday (9 p.m., MST, ESPN2). BYU hasn’t beaten the Zags at the Marriott Center since 2014.

Can that triumph over the Gaels help the Cougars' confidence and momentum going into this game?

“It was a big win for our guys. The fact that it comes on a bye week, it worries you a little bit because you spend the whole week feeling good,” said coach Dave Rose.
