BYU threw a major scare into No. 11 Arizona before falling in overtime, 78-74, at the Marriott Center, but the Wildcats did manage to land a knockout blow.

Cougar center Bret Jepsen suffered a concussion after taking a vicious elbow from Arizona’s Eugene Edgerson at midcourt. Arizona coach Lute Olson took Edgerson out of the game for the duration. Edgerson later apologized.
