BYU basketball: Tyler Haws propels Cougars past Tennessee State with near-career night
"It was a really hard-fought game," he said. "This is a really good win for our team, and I think it will prove to be a great win before the season is over. I'm happy with our guys and I thought we did a lot of things really well. A lot of room for improvement."
Friday's game was part of the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic that will continue next week. The Cougars will host Georgia State on Tuesday, then travel to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., for a date with Florida State Friday. The winner of that game will meet the winner of Notre Dame-Saint Joseph's Saturday for the championship.
NOTES: Tennessee State grabbed 14 offensive rebounds, compared to BYU's three. … Cougar guard Matt Carlino had nine points and 10 assists. … Cougar guard Anson Winder, who has been hampered by an ankle injury, did not dress for the game. … Duke defeated BYU's next opponent, Georgia State, 74-55, Friday.

ROC stands for "Roar of Cougars", nothing more than a name they've adopted for the BYU student section. It's just a fun little thing for the students, similar to fan sections that many colleges and even some More..
Defense looked really good for the most part but I'm sure coach Rose will get on the team about the rebounding and boxing out. The offense is going to come along as a more steady sub rotation gets set. All in all a good game and a lot to look More..
