Texas Southern Tigers forward Derrick Griffin (23) chases down a loose ball as BYU and Texas Southern play an NCAA basketball game in Provo at the Marriott Center on Saturday, Dec. 23, 2017. BYU won 73-52.
PROVO — If Texas Southern appeared to run out of gas during a 73-52 loss to BYU on Saturday, it would be hard to blame.
Sure, there’s the factor of playing at just over 4,500 feet — something a lot of teams struggle with when visiting BYU, but considering the other extenuating circumstances, the altitude was just an afterthought.
