BYU basketball may not beat the Gonzaga Bulldogs on Feb. 2, but history will be made regardless of the outcome.
The Cougars have never hosted the nation’s No. 1 team before, so Thursday’s game with the Bulldogs will be a first.
BYU is 16-7 on the season and 7-3 in West Coast Conference play. Gonzaga enters the game 22-0 and 10-0 in WCC play.
The Cougars have struggled mightily away from the Marriott Center (4-6), but are a great team at home (12-1). Still, just being at home won’t be enough, the Cougars will have to bring their A-game.
