The battle between Brigham Young and San Diego State will be highlighted by the individual matchip between Jimmer Fredette and D.J. Gay.
"It's going to be crazy,'' Fredette said of Wednesday night's showdown between No. 4 San Diego State and No. 9 BYU. "If we play well, our crowd will be into it. We need our crowd to rattle them a little bit. But it's going to be a great one."
San Diego State is 20-0 and BYU is 19-1, while both are 5-0 in the Mountain West Conference.
As different as Fredette and Gay are, both point guards make their teams go.
"I think it will be a back-and-forth game between the two,'' said BYU forward Noah Hartsock.
"With San Diego State having a great front line, the (media) might overlook D.J., but he's a tremendous player. He's really one of the great team leaders and great energizers.''
