PROVO — TJ Haws’ record 35-point game in Southern California was symbolic. It represented the late portion of BYU’s basketball’s season, emptying the tank.
Haws refused to lose.
It also represented the Haws name.
Haws’ career high came in a critical win on the road against a streaking University of San Diego team Thursday and was a case study in delivery. He hit big 3s, made critical drives, drew fouls, made free throws, did everything but hand out water during timeouts.
The result gave BYU a solid grip on second place in the West Coast Conference heading into Saturday’s game at Loyola Marymount.
