Rivalries

BYU has two main rivalries on their schedule- the Deseret First Duel vs. Utah and the UCCU Crosstown Clash vs. Utah Valley. Utah Tech (formerly Dixie State) also plays the Cougars for a third consecutive season.

Radio Information

BYU Baseball was once again broadcast as part of the NuSkin BYU Sports Network. BYU Radio 107.9 KUMT serves as the flagship station. However, due to conflicts, Game 2 on February 18 (Louisiana Tech) and April 1 (Gonzaga) will be byuradio.org exclusives. Jason Shepherd and Greg Wrubell will once again rotate providing play-by-play. Tuckett Slade will serve as the analyst on select broadcasts.
