BYU Bounces Back, Gets Road Win at Missouri State
BYU bounced back after its first loss of the season in a 74-68 road win at Missouri State. Alex Barcello had 21 points, Te’Jon Lucas scored 17 and Spencer Johnson provided 14 points off the bench. With Gavin Baxter out for the year and Gideon George out sick, BYU went small most of the night and largely played either Caleb Lohner or Fousseyni Traore at the 5. Lohner scored 10 points and played well against MSU’s star big man Gaige Prim.
BYU’s poor three-point shooting continued — 6-23 from the arc — but BYU shot 48% overall and had only 9 turnovers. Missouri State came into the game with a potent offense, but BYU held the Bears to 41% shooting from the field.
