Game against Gonzaga will be a historic one for BYU basketball

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.
