BYU’s basketball players and coaches know what to expect from Utah State’s crowd and student section Saturday night when they travel to the Spectrum to take on the Aggies.
Utah State (4-4) is a mystery team because the Cougars are unsure which of its stars will play. For instance, starting point guard Koby McEwen is listed as day-to-day with a sprained ankle and has not played since scoring 11 points in USU’s last home game, an 83-47 win over Mississippi Valley State on Nov. 15.
McEwen, who is from Toronto but played high school basketball at Wasatch Academy in Sanpete County, is the reigning Mountain West Conference Freshman of the Year and a real difference-maker.
