PROVO, Utah – BYU and San Diego State announced today the two schools have agreed to a home-and-home men’s basketball series for 2020 and 2021.

The first meeting will be at San Diego State in Viejas Arena on Dec. 1, 2020, with the second game to be played in the Marriott Center during the 2021-22 season.
