College basketball junkies have known for years that the Marriott Center in Provo is one of the sport's best home court advantages.

The rest of the Big 12 will soon find out, as well, as BYU is set to play its first ever league game on Saturday at home against Cincinnati.

"Our fan base is voracious," BYU coach Mark Pope said earlier this week on the College Hoops Today Podcast. "It's incredible. We played Wyoming, and there were no students here and we still had 18,000 people."

The Cougars are currently 12-1 and ranked 14th in the ROTHSTEIN 45.

BYU is also ranked second in the NET.
