SALT LAKE CITY-Friday, BYU and the University of Utah agreed to a 4-game series in men’s basketball which will start this upcoming season. This series was confirmed by a University of Utah spokesperson.

This game is slated for December 12, 2020 at the Marriott Center in Provo.

This is the second series between the two programs since the cancellation of the 2016 rivalry game.

Utah will host the Cougars in 2021 and 2023 with the 2022 game slated for Provo.

This will be the 261st all-time meeting between these two bitter rivals with the Cougars leading the Utes 131-129 all-time.

Since the Utes joined the PAC-12 in 2011, the squads have met eight times on the hardwood. BYU and Utah have each won 4 times in that span.

The Cougars are losing five scholarship players to graduation from last year’s squad. The Utes are returning the majority of their young core as head coach Larry Krystkowiak had no scholarship players that were seniors last season.
