Brigham Young 1/25 10:30 pm ESPN 2

UC heads west for two games in the Beehive State, first at BYU on Saturday night and then at Utah next week. I thought this was a 10 p.m. ET tip but apparently it is now listed at 10:30. Roxy Bernstein and King McClure will have the call on Saturday night. This is the sixth game in a row on ESPN2, so expect it to start over on the ESPN app ...

BYU is 12-6 (3-4). After starting 1-4, BYU has recently won at Oklahoma State, lost in OT at Utah and just won at Colorado by 16 on Tuesday. They also have a 20-point win over Arizona State and 5-point loss to Texas Tech, as far as common opponents thus far.
