BYU will start its 2018-19 basketball on the road against a top-flight opponent, according to reports.
The Cougars will reportedly travel to Reno to take on the Nevada Wolf Pack on November 6. Nevada has agreed to return the favor with a yet-to-be-scheduled game in Provo in the 2019-2020 season. FRS Sports’ Jon Rothstein was the first to report on the agreement, which has subsequently been confirmed by the Reno Gazette-Journal.
The series is a massive scheduling coup for the Cougars, who have made a concerted effort to beef up their future schedules this summer following a raft of mid-majors missing out on the NCAA Tournament in 2018 due to soft nonconference slates.
