BYU basketball finally did it. The Cougars finally reached the level of play that so many hoped they would reach.
Playing near perfect basketball, BYU defeated the 29-0 (now 29-1) No. 1 Gonzaga Bulldogs, 79-71. It marks the third year in a row the Cougars have left The Kennel with a victory.
Eric Mika led the way for BYU basketball, scoring 29 points and grabbing 11 rebounds in 39 minutes of play. He (alongside Corbin Kaufusi) also played great defense on Przemek Karnowski, holding the big man to just 10 points and six rebounds.
Elijah Bryant and TJ Haws combined to score 31 on 11-of-28 shooting.
