In a game they had to win, BYU ended the regular season with a 87-61 win over San Francisco. The win locked up the 5 seed in the WCC Tournament and a first round bye. A loss would’ve meant the 7 seed and a first round matchup with Pepperdine.
After losing by 8 to the Dons in San Francisco, BYU defended the three-point line well and owned the offensive glass. Fousseyni Traore locked down the paint with 17 points and 14 rebounds, and Rudi Williams got his first start since December to lead all scorers with 21 points to go with 7 assists.
