PROVO — It did not take long for BYU to establish a lead over Northern Arizona University, and it only grew as the game went on.
The Cougars easily defeated the visiting Lumberjacks on Thursday night at the Marriott Center, 84-54.
As usual, big nights by Brandon Davies and Tyler Haws, who combined for a total of 42 points, led BYU to victory. Davies finished with a double-double, 27 points and 10 rebounds.
Matt Carlino tallied six of his team's 18 total assists but struggled shooting the ball as he went 3 for 9 from the field for six points.
The bright point for disheartened Northern Arizona was backup guard Michael Gunn, who scored 17 points.

"lets drop the hyphenated teams and JC's please"
And who would you suggest that BYU bring in instead?
Most Top 100 RPI teams refuse to play in the Marriott Center because it's too tough of More..
As a season ticket holder, can we plz schedule teams worth watching? The 30 point blowouts are not worth driving to anymore....
If we want to be a big time program, lets drop the hyphenated teams and JC's please.
Are u crazy? There are dozens of teams out there that would play BYU home and home.
Rose isn't dumb. To get to the NCAA tourney you need a good RPI, or at least 20 wins. Byu has proven they can't win the WCC, so there goes More..
