What to Know

The Brigham Young Cougars and the #17 Saint Mary's Gaels are set to square off in a West Coast matchup at 10 p.m. ET Feb. 18 at University Credit Union Pavilion. If the game is anything like their last meeting in January, where Saint Mary's won 57-56, we could be in for a big score.

The Cougars came up short against the Santa Clara Broncos on Thursday, falling 81-74. A silver lining for BYU was the play of guard Rudi Williams, who had 20 points.

Meanwhile, it was a close one, but on Thursday the Gaels sidestepped the San Diego Toreros for a 62-59 win. Saint Mary's' center Mitchell Saxen looked sharp as he dropped a double-double on 17 points and ten boards.

BYU is the clear underdog, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. However, those who like betting on the underdog should be happy to hear that they are 6-0 against the spread when expected to lose.

Saint Mary's' victory lifted them to 23-5 while Brigham Young's defeat dropped them down to 16-13. We'll see if Saint Mary's can repeat their recent success or if the Cougars bounce back and reverse their fortune.
