PROVO — Heading into the final week of the regular season, BYU has at least one big problem.

The Cougars' 3-point shooting has abandoned them.

Over its past four road games, BYU is connecting on an abysmal 20 percent (17 of 85) of its shots from 3-point range.

That’s a bad sign for a team hoping to make a splash at the West Coast Conference Tournament in Las Vegas in March.

But before then the Cougars visit Portland Thursday and host No. 9 Gonzaga in their regular-season home finale Saturday.

In BYU’s 75-62 loss at San Diego last Saturday, the Cougars went 3 of 22 from 3-point territory.
