The Delta Center in downtown Salt Lake City has been quite kind to the BYU men’s basketball team the past 30 years, as the Cougars have compiled a 24-5 all-time record at the home of the NBA’s Utah Jazz.

That includes a 19-1 record for BYU in the last 20 games, the only loss in that stretch a 69-68 decision to South Dakota on Dec. 3, 2022. The caveat is that the Cougars have only played four power conference opponents — Utah, Virginia Tech, Oregon and Arizona — in Delta Center since 2008, which is when their 19-1 stretch began.

So Friday’s matinee (2 p.m. MST, Peacock) with No. 23 Wisconsin might just be the toughest test BYU has faced at Delta Center in quite some time. The Badgers (4-0) will also be out for revenge , having lost 91-89 to BYU in the Round of 32 of the NCAA Tournament
