Looking for opponents: How BYU basketball is rebuilding its nonconference schedule

PROVO — During the summer, and even into the season, BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe has dealt with revamping the football schedule due to the pandemic.

Something similar is going on with Cougars basketball, as well as every other hoops program around the country, as official practices are set to begin Oct. 14.

“This is a very important time right now for college basketball,” Holmoe said.

The NCAA announced Sept. 16 that the start of the 2020-21 college basketball season would be pushed back to Nov. 25. That means several games on BYU’s schedule were wiped out, including the Junkanoo Jam, a multiteam event in the Bahamas.
