There isn’t much that hasn’t been said about the rivalry between San Diego State and BYU.
Both teams have discontinued their football matchups with one another until at least 2034, partly due to the fact that BYU will join the Big-12 in 2023. So, the universities’ basketball teams will hope to keep the rivalry alive.
Friday’s narrow 66-60 defeat to the Cougars marked the fourth straight year the two schools have competed with the plan to continue in the next two years.
The last three matchups between the schools have resulted in two wins for the Aztecs, winning in 2018 (in San Diego 90-81) and 2019 (in Provo 76-71), while the Cougars won last season’s matchup 62-72 in an empty Viejas Arena.
