St. Mary's has built a 36-27 halftime lead over BYU on the back of poor Cougar shooting at McKeon Pavilion in Moraga, California, on Thursday night.
Cougar guards Kyle Collinsworth, Nick Emery and Chase Fischer have combined to shoot 4-for-24 from the field, as BYU is shooting 28.2 percent as a team. The 27 points is the Cougars' fewest at the half this season.
Nate Austin has been a boost off the bench, as he's on his way to a double-double with six points and nine rebounds. Kyle Davis had his minutes limited, as he headed to the bench with two fouls after playing 10 minutes.
