PROVO — BYU suffered its first two-game losing streak of the season after a 68-60 defeat at No. 14 Gonzaga Saturday night.
While the Cougars were disappointed, they also saw some encouraging signs.
Nobody knew how BYU would respond after a poor showing in its setback at Loyola Marymount last Thursday. But the Cougars gave the Zags all they wanted Saturday.
“It was a completely different team (Saturday). I’m proud of the guys and how we competed,” said forward Luke Worthington, who scored a career-high 16 points. “It sucks because we can’t count it as a win, but we played hard.
