Childs, Toolson lead BYU to 79-73 victory over Oral Roberts in final WCC tuneup

Provo • Both BYU and Oral Roberts came into Saturday’s matchup at the Marriott Center having won their last four games, and only one team was going to continue its winning streak.

BYU beat the Golden Eagles 79-73 in the final non-conference game of the season.

The Cougars knew ORU would present a big rebounding challenge — and they were up to the task. Even though the Golden Eagles still outrebounded BYU, it was only by nine (46-37).

One of the top 3-point shooting teams, BYU struggled mightily from beyond the arc, shooting 9 of 30.
