The Boise State Broncos have a non-conference showdown with the BYU Cougars. Boise State started the season with a 10-point loss to Houston. Boise State has won two in a row and is coming off an 86-49 win over NAIA College of Idaho. In their last win, Abu Kigab had a team-high 19 points and Derrick Alston added 14 points in the win. Boise State is scoring 103.5 points per 100 possessions which ranks 90th in the NCAA. They are shooting just 21.6 percent from the three-point range. On the defensive end, they are allowing 95.9 points per 100 possessions which ranks 107th in the NCAA.

BYU is coming off a 67-64 win over Utah State in their last outing. In the win, Alex Barcello had 23 points and Caleb Lohner added 11 points in the win. They were the only players for BYU to hit double figures in the game. The Cougars are halfway through a stretch of six consecutive top-100 opponents and have gone 2-1 in their first three games. The BYU offense is scoring 103.2 points per 100 possessions which is 95th in the NCAA. On the defensive end, they are giving up 94.2 points per 100 possessions which ranks 81st in the NCAA.

BYU has played better competition by far this season. BYU has a definite edge from deep in this game as they shoot close to 50 percent of their shots from deep and the Broncos when they do shoot threes, only hit 21.6 percent from beyond the arc. Boise State is poor on the defensive boards and the extra chances for BYU could lead to more threes.

Play on BYU.
