Gus Johnson will be the play-by-play announcer, analyst Joel Klatt will be alongside him in the booth, and Jenny Taft will be on the sideline.
It’s the second time this season that Johnson and Klatt will be on location at a Big 12 venue. They opened the 2024 season in Morgantown, West Virginia, for West Virginia versus Penn State.
Since week one, they have been at Big Ten venues such as Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio State, and Penn State.
Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt have been FOX’s top broadcast team since 2015.
BYU has never had a game called by this crew.
When he was at CBS, Johnson called a pair of BYU basketball games in the NCAA Tournament. He called Jimmer Fredette’s final game at BYU in the 2011 NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 against Florida.
