HISTORY: BYU and Utah State have met in every season since 1957. The Cougars lead the all-time series 72-49, winning the last nine meetings.
BYU is favored by 14 points at home here.
Utah State Aggies
Utah State enters this one on the heels of a tough two-point home loss to St. Mary’s. The Aggies have already picked up non-conference road wins over Oklahoma and Richmond, and they’ll look to earn a third one here
Justin Bean has really raised his game this season. The 6’7 forward scored 24 points in the road win over Oklahoma and he’s averaging 22.5 ppg, doubling his total from last year. Bean also ranks fifth in the nation in rebounding at 12.6 ppg.
Fellow veteran Brock Miller remains a key cog in the Utah State offense. The fifth-year senior is averaging a career-best 10.2 ppg, while shooting 36.2% from deep.
Brandon Horvath and Rylan Jones have transferred in and meshed nicely through the first month of the season. Horvath was a big piece in UMBC legendary tournament run, and he’s second on the team in scoring at 13.3 ppg.
Jones came over from the arch-rival Utah Utes, and he leads the Aggies in assists (5.4)
BYU Cougars
BYU responded to their first loss of the season to Utah Valley with a road win over Missouri State. The Cougars will look to make it two out of three in Utah before a road trip to Weber State next weekend.
The Cougars are spearheaded by super senior Alex Barcello. The 6’2 guard is thriving in the leadership role, and he followed up his double-double versus Utah Valley by scoring 21 in the win over Missouri State. Barcello leads the team with 18.6 ppg.
Veteran guard Te’Jon Lucas transferred in after leading Milwaukee U in scoring, and he’s second on the team with 11.9 ppg, while leading the team with 4.6 apg.
Youngsters Caleb Lohner and Fousseyni Traore start up front for BYU, and they both average over 7 boards per game.

Free Utah State Aggies vs. BYU Cougars NCAAB Prediction: Utah State to Cover
Utah State has been getting closer and closer to ending the Cougars win streak over them. The past three meetings have been decided by less than five points, and the Aggies were gold in these spots last season.
4* Free CBB Betting Pick: Utah State +
Both Utah schools have started the season on strong notes, but the Aggies may just have the best player on the court. Justin Bean’s play is going to have a huge effect on the outcome of this game, and I like spotting USU the points here.
Take Utah State’s spread Wednesday night.
