TIPOFF BYU men’s basketball hits the road for the first time this season on Tuesday when they face No. 12 Oregon at the Phil Knight Invitational at the Moda Center in Portland, Ore. Tipoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. MST.
Tuesday’s contest will be broadcast on ESPN. It will be broadcast live on BYU Sports Network on BYU Radio – Sirius XM 143/89.1 FM HD2 and KSL 102.7 FM/1160 AM.
BYU NOTES The Cougars improved to 2-0 on the season following a 66-60 victory over San Diego State on Friday evening in front of 16,470 fans including 4,292 at the Marriott Center BYU outrebounded the Aztecs by four, 42-38.
Barcello scored a team-high 17 points, marking his fifth straight game in double figures. Te’Jon Lucas also reached double figures for the first time as Coug with 13 points.
Fousseyni Traore doesn’t play like a freshman. Not one bit. The Wasatch Academy product is averaging 7 points, 8.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks after his first two collegiate games after filling the stat sheet against SDSU. Seven of his 16 rebounds have come on the offensive glass.
BIG SHOT BARCELLO Barcello is already making his case for the most clutch player in college basketball this season following Kobe Bryant-esque finish against San Diego State. After making a corner 3 to give BYU a 57-54 lead with three minutes remaining in regulation, the senior guard weaved his way through the Aztec defense two minutes later for a pull-up jumper to seal the Cougars second straight victory over the Aztecs.
The Chandler, Ariz. native is 4-of-4 from the field in the final five minutes through two games. He also improved his consecutive free throw streak to 35, the fourth-longest streak in program history.
A FAMILY AFFAIR Spencer Johnson will face off against his brother, Isaac, on Tuesday. The elder Johnson has been a key bench player during his time as Cougar making 29 appearances since transferring from Salt Lake Community College. Isaac, a freshman and former four-star recruit, made his collegiate debut in the Ducks season opener against Texas Southern.

COUGAR TAILSCOUGAR TAILS
Tuesday will mark the 24th all-time meeting between the two programs and their first since the 2014 NCAA Tournament. BYU is 9-14 against the Ducks in a series that dates back to Feb. 22, 1909. Tuesday will also mark the third time in their past four contests that the game will take place at a NBA Arena. The two schools played at the now demolished BMO Harris Bradley Center in the opening round of the 2014 NCAA Tournament after playing at the Delta Center (now Vivint Arena) back in 2011.
• The Cougars are shooting 78.6 percent (11-of-14) from the charity stripe in the final two minutes of the game so far this season. Te’Jon Lucas was a perfect 4-of-4 on freebies in BYU’s win over San Diego State on Friday evening in Provo. • BYU is 2-5 against ranked teams under Pope including a win over then-No. 2 Gonzaga on Senior Day in 2020. • With BYU’s win on Friday night, Pope improved to 46-15 overall and 27-3 at home during his time in Provo.
NOT HIS FIRST RODE0NOT HIS FIRST RODE0 Head coach Mark Pope will coach at the Moda Center, home of the Portland Trailblazers, for the first time but is no stranger to the venue as he played there four times during his NBA career. He averaged 5.5 minutes per game in the Rose City scoring his only points a member of the MIwaukee Bucks on November 30, 2001.
