Does BYU Struggle In The East? A Look At Trips Under Sitake

(Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News)

PROVO, Utah – BYU will take on East Carolina this Saturday in Greenville, North Carolina (5:30 p.m., ESPN2, KSL NewsRadio).

Coming off a bye week, the extra rest should benefit the Cougars as they prepare for a trip of more than 2,000 miles across the country.

Kalani Sitake joked earlier this week about the thick air on the East Coast, and the extra day of travel will be good for the pores. But he also made a real point: now that BYU is in the Big 12, the travel is easier to manage with better funding and resources behind the program.

He also explained that no matter the conditions, his team will be ready to perform for themselves and for Cougar Nation.
