Creighton mainly rotated Young and Josh Jones on Fredette and employed some double-teams. The senior guard, who came in averaging 24.8 points, was held to just four shots and five points in the first half, and he finished 5 of 15 for a season-low 13 points.
"They just did everything they possibly could — double-teams, trying to stop me from getting to the middle of the floor, doing anything to stop me from shooting the ball," Fredette said. "We have good players on this team, so if you do that, we're going to find guys and make shots. It's tough to guard us like that if you really want to win the game."
Rose said Fredette maintained his poise and found other ways to contribute.
"I was really proud of Jimmer for the way he trusted his teammates," Rose said, "and I think we can win a lot of games when you get four guys scoring in double figures."

Great road win Cougars, Davies was a beast tonight. Nice to see others scoring and stepping up their game. Jimmer only shoots 33% and the cougars still win by double-digits, thats a great sign. If they can continue to play this well together as a More..
What a fun game to watch! We sat on the very top row! That place is not too intimidating and the crowd only really got into it when the game was tied and on a few 3's. BYU fans, be proud, there were tons of BYU fans there. Someone next to me said More..
