This is it. The final matchup of BYU basketball's non-conference schedule. Though it may seem like a relatively meaningless battle with an inferior foe, this game represents far more for BYU basketball than a simple non-conference matchup.
In this game, the Cougars make their final preparations for the grueling Big 12 gauntlet. In this game, they finalize their game plans, culminate the knowledge they've accumulated over these past weeks, and iron out the last wrinkles before the season gets real.
And it's going to be really real, really quick.
Egor Demin will likely sit out this Friday night hooping seminar as he nurses a knee contusion that's sidelined him for a few games, and I'd be surprised to see Richie get some floor time after suffering a concussion against the Cowboys, but the Cougars are otherwise healthy and ready to compete.
Leaning on depth, the Cougars stand their ground in the Marriott Center once more on Friday night.
