BYU basketball coach Dave Rose held his weekly news conference on Wednesday night and opened by talking about the Pacific Tigers, the Cougars' opponent on Thursday night at the Marriott Center.
Rose said Pacific (2-6 WCC, 11-8) is much better than its record indicates. The Tigers had some impressive road wins in December, including a 78-68 win at Utah State.
Tipoff is at 7 p.m. MST and the game will be televised by BYUtv.
