Spurred by a run in which they made 5 of 6 3-point attempts in the second half, the Toreros outplayed BYU down the stretch to get just their second WCC win, against four defeats. BYU fell to 13-6 overall, 4-2 in WCC play.
"We definitely should have won that game, and there were a lot of things we should have done better, a lot of things we need to fix," said BYU guard TJ Haws, who scored a career-high 27 points. Eric Mika, the only other Cougar in double figures, added 11.
"What really turned them on was some offensive rebounds in the second half," Rose said.
