Brigham Young University (BYU) faces off against Montana State in a Big Sky showdown at the Marriott Center in Provo, Utah. Montana State, favored to win the Big Sky conference, returns 10 players from last year's team and has added a strong five-man class. The game is set to tip off at 7pm MT on ESPN+. BYU has started the season strong with a 3-0 record, with a 46% three-point shooting percentage in each game. They currently lead the conference in scoring, averaging 300 points per game.
Montana State, known for their consistency, were narrowly beaten by Colorado State and Long Beach State but will have a size and length advantage over BYU. The matchup will be a test of BYU's defensive capabilities and ability to capitalize on rebounding opportunities, as they struggled against a smaller Queens team. Head coach Matt Logie's team is in his fourth season in Bozeman and finished second in the Big Sky last year, ranking 127th in the NET.
Watch as BYU aims to build on their early success and prove they are capable of handling a quality mid-major team like Montana State.
