LOS ANGELES — By now, BYU is used to late-night tipoffs.
The Cougars played at 9 p.m., MST, for the fifth time this season, Thursday night at Gersten Pavilion against Loyola Marymount.
BYU is scheduled to play twice more at 9 p.m. in the regular season on Feb. 8 against Santa Clara in Provo and on Feb. 22 at Portland.
Last week, athletic director Tom Holmoe acknowledged that late tipoffs are “a tough thing,” particularly for some fans.
But Holmoe said it’s a trade-off.
“ESPN does a lot of games, every night of the week,” he said.
