PROVO — The BYU women's basketball team has incurred its fair share of frustrating starts to games during non-conference play but proved during Friday's 75-54 win over Montana State an ability to work through it.
The visiting Bobcats got off to a 20-13 lead with 9:27 remaining until halftime, reminding BYU coach Jeff Judkins of similar starts this season — most notably a slow start in a 76-69 Utah State back on December 6. But unlike that frustrating home loss, the Cougars turned things around rather quickly — closing out the first half with a 16-6 run to lead 29-26.
