BYU basketball: The five biggest games of the year in Provo

Number 2: Utah, December 16
Cougar fans get the Utes in football and basketball this year. Utah has not played in the Marriott Center since 2014.
Coming off of a one year “break,” Cougar fans and players should be excited for this game. Considering that this game will be played right before finals start, students will find this game as a great opportunity to take a break from studying.
The Utes should also be pretty good this year. Last season they finished fourth in the Pac-12 and finished with a record of 20-12. Most of their team will return for this season, so there is a very good chance that the Utes will also be ranked coming into this game.
BYU basketball has to take advantage of this game. With losing to UVU last season, a loss to the Utah would potentially hurt quite a bit in recruiting in the future. This is definitely a game that fans should go to.
