In a weird situation for the Cougars, BYU Men’s Basketball will play two-straight games against San Diego this week.
After facing off against most WCC teams twice, tonight will feature the first matchup of the season between the Cougars and the Toreros. It will also be the first time that first-year Head Coach Lamont Smith (who was an assistant with the Cougs former Mountain West nemesis New Mexico) will face BYU.
San Diego has had a disappointing 8-17 campaign, and are currently last in the WCC. While they are 2nd to worst in the country in points per game, they have a defense that is in the top quarter in College Basketball.
