BYU basketball: 'Aggressive' TJ Haws scores 27 in career-high performance

SAN DIEGO — BYU guard T.J. Haws scored a career-high 27 points, and drilled six 3-pointers Saturday night at Jenny Craig Pavilion, but that accomplishment didn’t mean much to him.

That’s because the Cougars lost to San Diego, 88-75.

“I tried to stay aggressive,” said Haws. “Our guys found me on open shots and I had good looks. But none of that really matters unless you win.”

Haws, who hit 8 of 18 shots from the field, 6 of 12 from the 3-point line and 5 of 6 from the free throw line, exploded late in the first half, hitting a pair of 3-pointers in the final three minutes to pull BYU to within two points at halftime.
