BYU Beats NC State to Capture Vegas Showdown Championship

BYU racked up 57 second half points to win the Vegas Showdown in a thrilling 95-86 win over NC State Friday night in Vegas.

NC State’s full court pressure bothered BYU early and helped them jump out to an early double-digit lead in the first five minutes. BYU’s defense tightened up in the first half to go into the half with a manageable 5-point deficit.

Atiki Ally Atiki was suspended for punching an Arizona State player, and things looked bad early on when Fouss exited the game with a hamstring injury.
