Key to the Game: Run slow and efficient offense

BYU does a lot of good things offensively, and if they're clicking, you'll find yourself trying to play catch-up all night. Limiting possessions and connecting on threes will be key for West Virginia. BYU is okay defensively, but the one area they've struggled in is defending the three. Shots will be there; WVU just has to make sure they are taking good shots and not forcing things up from range to match scores.

West Virginia and BYU will get things started at roughly 7 p.m. EST. The game will be televised on CBS Sports Network.
