PROVO — Finally, road-weary BYU is returning home.
The Cougars, who fell 88-66 at Saint Mary’s last Saturday, will play at the Marriott Center for the first time in nearly a month Thursday (7 p.m. MST, BYUtv) when they host Portland.
BYU last played at home on Dec. 12 against Portland State. That was followed by three consecutive losses and the Cougars’ first road win of the season at Pacific last Thursday.
“We’re stoked. We’re so excited to come back and play in front of our fans,” said forward Yoeli Childs, who scored 21 points and pulled down 12 rebounds against the Gaels.
