In their last game against the San Diego State Aztecs, BYU managed a commendable victory with 74 points against the Aztecs' 65. Their offensive strategy was effective, converting 37 percent of three-point attempts and maintaining a free throw accuracy of 75 percent. The team also demonstrated defensive prowess with six steals and two blocks.


An even more dominant display was seen in their previous encounter with Houston Christian Huskies where BYU scored an impressive 110 points to the Huskies' 63. Their offensive execution was remarkable, hitting 61 percent from two-point range and maintaining an overall field goal percentage of approximately 48 percent. The Cougars also excelled in rebounding that night, grabbing a total of 59 rebounds – significantly contributing to their second-chance points tally.


The upcoming game is expected to be influenced by BYU's recent statistical trends which include efficient ball movement leading to high assist numbers and aggressive rebounding on both ends of the floor. These factors could play a significant role given that Marriott Center has been a fortress for them – providing not just home-court advantage but also drawing large crowds that boost team morale.


Fans should look forward to seeing if BYU can continue its winning momentum and capitalize on its home-court advantage when they face off against Southeastern Louisiana Lions. With strong performances in both offense and defense recently, expectations are high for another compelling game.


The match is scheduled for November 16th at Marriott Center in Provo at midnight local time (02:00 AM UTC). Fans unable to attend can catch all the action live on ESPN+ via internet broadcast networks.
