After scoring just 16 points in the first 13 minutes, BYU’s offense woke up in a big way the rest of the game in a 94-83 win over Ohio State on the opening day of college basketball.
BYU was down 37-34 at halftime and trailed by as much as 11, but BYU outscored the Buckeyes 60-46 in the second half. Rob Wright was sensational and looked like an All-American, leading BYU with 33 points, 5 assists, and 1 turnover on 9/15 shooting from the field (4/5 from three) and 11/12 from the line. Rob showed his whole bag, getting into the paint, finishing around the rim and with floaters, and hitting pullup and stepback threes.
