The balance of basketball power in the Beehive State has shifted in recent years, but there's nothing Utah would enjoy more than to bring BYU down a notch.
The rivalry resumes Saturday as the ninth-ranked Cougars visit Salt Lake City to face the Utes in the first of two showdowns in a two-week span.
While the Cougars (14-1) are riding high behind superstar freshman AJ Dybantsa, the Utes (8-7) enter the game in desperate need of a win after dropping three in a row. Utah is 1-5 against power-conference opponents this season, its lone win a one-point squeaker against Ole Miss the day before Thanksgiving.
The Utes will need a big game from leading scorer Terrence Brown (21.4 points per game) after he had a rough shooting night last time out against Colorado, making just 5 of 17 from the field.
Here's how to tune in and watch all the action Saturday night.
