SAN FRANCISCO — This week marks BYU’s first games outside of the state of Utah since the end of November, when the Cougars played a pair of non-conference teams in Brooklyn, New York — and this road trip to the West Coast coincided with a magnitude-4.4 earthquake that hit the Bay Area.
At 2:39 Thursday morning, hours before BYU’s game against San Francisco at War Memorial Gym, an earthquake was felt by an estimated 9.8 million people who could reported “weak, light or moderate shaking,” according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Only minor damages were reported.
BYU basketball spokesman Kyle Chilton said the quake woke him at 2:40 a.
