BYU loses momentum, confidence with stunning setback to Loyola Marymount before showdown at No. 14 Gonzaga

The Cougars turned over the ball 16 times and were a miserable 5 of 24 from 3-point range in a 76-69 setback at Loyola Marymount on Thursday night in one of their most embarrassing losses of the Dave Rose era. Loyola Marymount got its second West Coast Conference win and snapped a 10-game losing streak to BYU by coming up with 14 steals and committing just eight turnovers.

“We were just not comfortable out there,” said junior McKay Cannon, who combined with fellow guards TJ Haws and Jahshire Hardnett to go 3 of 15 from the floor with five turnovers.
