Another slow start for BYU but they kick it in gear in the second half.
Another win for BYU! Way to go Cougars.

Amazing how the two half's of play differed. Coach Rose made some great adjustments and the players increased their defensive intensity exponentially. It almost felt like I was watching a church ball team play against the Cougs.
