Dave Rose has his BYU team facing a huge game against San Francisco. Big game? Again?

Of late, it seems every game is a dire affair of survival and Thursday night in Provo maintains the narrative.

This has been a strange season for BYU basketball.

There have been injuries, last-minute losses, a pair of overtime thrillers that ended up heartbreakers at Illinois State and UNLV, comebacks that fell short, wins that seemed so far out of reach, and a head-scratcher loss at Weber State — the first for a Dave Rose-coached team, a squad that later beat both Utah and Utah State.
