BYU Cougars vs Missouri State Bears: Betting Odds
The Cougars started the season with a win and a loss. Their start to the season was a close win against the Idaho State Bengals (60-56). Gideon George contributed to the win with 10 points and eight rebounds. Fousseyni Traore scored the maximum points for the team at 15, and Spencer Johnson chipped in 11 points as well.
However, the Cougars lost in the second game against the No. 17 San Diego State Aztecs (82-75). They fought well but were not good enough. Gideon, Fousseyni, and Spencer contributed again in double digits, along with Rudi Williams, but still fell short of the target. They will now face a determined Missouri side that has looked good so far.
The Bears have played only one game so far, which they won. It was a one-sided victory against the Missouri S&T Miners (82-47). Chance Moore was their star player, who came off the bench to score 18 points while playing only 16 minutes.
