Games at Nevada, UNLV, SDSU, and Mississippi State along with Houston and Utah will be tough. I expect BYU will get a couple of these games but may struggle and drop a game or two against the likes of UVU, @ Illinois State, etc.
I am a little sad to see that the Houston game will be going up against the Utah football game over Thanksgiving weekend. Hopefully there will be some good seats available for this one but the home court advantage will be minimized.
The Cougars also only play 2 home games between Thanksgiving Weekend until after New Years.
It will be nice to have Nick back from the tough back stretch of the schedule including USU & Utah.
