Provo • Utah State and Brigham Young have found a suitable date to play the men's basketball game that was postponed Wednesday after USU student-athlete Danny Berger was hospitalized the previous night with a serious medical condition.

The Aggies and Cougars will meet Feb. 19 at the Marriott Center in Provo. The 7 p.m. game will be broadcast live on BYUtv.

Berger was released from the hospital Saturday morning.

Tickets purchased for the original game will be honored Feb. 19.

Both teams will play Feb. 16 at home.

After the Aggies and Cougars meet Feb. 19, the Cougars will play at St. Mary's on Feb. 21, and the Aggies will play in a Bracket Buster game on either Feb. 22 or 23.

The last time BYU and Utah State played a game this late in the season was in 1980 when the Cougars defeated the Aggies 84-83 at the Marriott Center on Feb. 12. —
