Cougars at WCC Tip-Off on Monday

SAN BRUNO, Calif. -- The West Coast Conference will hold its fourth annual basketball tip-off event at Time Warner Cable Sports Studios on Monday, Oct. 27. The event will give West Coast Conference fans the ability to interact with all 10 WCC head men's and women's basketball coaches and student-athletes from each institution through a live stream on TheW.tv. BYU will be represented by coach Dave Rose and senior All-America candidate Tyler Haws from the men's team and coach Jeff Judkins and senior Morgan Bailey from the women's team.

The 2014-15 West Coast Conference men's and women's basketball preseason polls and all-conference teams will be announced that day as well.

Beginning at 10:30 a.m. PT, each WCC coach and student-athlete will take part in a live video interview in which fans can submit questions via Twitter and Facebook. The men's interview sessions will be hosted by Time Warner Cable SportsNet's Chris McGee and Dave Miller, and the women's sessions will be hosted by veteran WCC broadcaster George Devine. Both the men's and women's video interviews will be streamed live on TheW.tv and WCCsports.com.
