PROVO — Last February, a struggling Pacific team handed BYU a shocking 77-72 loss at the Marriott Center.
Though very few players were on the roster for that game, that defeat was on the Cougars' minds Saturday. Coach Dave Rose talked to his team about it prior to tipoff of their rematch in Provo, and the Cougars avenged that defeat by pounding the Tigers 91-62.
“The fact they had so many returning players from what happened to us last year in here, it was a priority for us, and the guys were ready for it," Rose said after the game.
