OREM, Utah – Utah Valley University and BYU have agreed to a four-game series in men's basketball beginning this year, with the Wolverines opening the 2015-16 season at the Marriott Center in Provo on Nov. 13, 2015.

The Cougars are slated to play at the UCCU Center in Orem for the first time on Nov. 29, 2017. The Wolverines are also scheduled for games in Provo on Nov. 11, 2016 and Nov. 9, 2018.

"This series has been a long time coming," said UVU director of athletics Vince Otoupal. "BYU is an excellent program with national respect and this series will be great for the fans, the community, and the state of Utah."

November's contest will mark just the second meeting between the neighboring schools since Utah Valley's move to Division I, which began in 2003-04. The teams previously met on Nov. 29, 2003 in Provo, in what was just UVU's second game ever against a DI opponent. BYU won the game 84-65 with former UVU star and current Phoenix Suns guard Ronnie Price leading all scorers with 26 points.

The full 2015-16 Utah Valley men's basketball schedule, under first-year head coach Mark Pope, will be released in the coming weeks.
