It got dicey late, but BYU survived the foul fest to snap its three-game losing streak and win its WCC opener 90-87 over Pacific.
BYU rode hot first-half shooting to a 21-point first half lead before relinquishing that lead late in the game to the Tigers. Clutch late free throws from Jahshire Hardnett and Nick Emery proved to be the difference before a missed three at the buzzer from Pacific gave BYU the win.
TJ Haws led BYU with 24 points and 6 assists, and Jahshire Hardnett came off the bench for the first time this season to provide 17 points.
