BYU -Illinois State basketball game Wednesday night is a match made by Twitter

No, the 7 p.m. game at the Marriott Center won’t be streamed by the popular social media website. It will be televised by BYUtv.

Twitter got involved long ago, BYU coach Dave Rose said Tuesday night after the streaking Cougars, 6-2 and winners of three straight, wrapped up practice at the Marriott Center.

Back in March, after the Redbirds were left out of the NCAA Tournament despite going 17-1 in their league and winning a school-record 28 games, coach Dan Muller took to Twitter asking for a home-and-home series with any Power 6 Conference team that wanted a “quality road win” against a “top-33 RPI” team.
