BYU men's basketball: Cougars' to visit San Diego, a team that's at full-strength, tough to beat

PROVO — It’s mid-February and late in the season, but there's one team that BYU has yet to play in the West Coast Conference: San Diego.

The Cougars and Toreros meet for the first time this year Thursday night at Jenny Craig Pavilion in San Diego.

San Diego is coming off a heartbreaking 70-67 loss at Pepperdine last Saturday. Meanwhile, the Toreros (16-9, 5-5) are 11-1 at home this season.

“They’re a lot better than their record because they’ve had some injuries to two starters,” said BYU coach Dave Rose. “They’re at full strength right now and they’re playing really good basketball.
