BYU survived its first full week of WCC play with mixed results, but learned from the loss to Saint Mary’s

Provo • BYU finally played its first full week of West Coast Conference play, and it felt like that one week was filled with all the highs and lows of a full season.

It started with leading-scorer Yoeli Childs getting injured last Tuesday. The senior forward suffered an open dislocation of his right index finger, taking him off the court for at least a week or two.

His absence was felt in the Cougars’ first conference road game at Saint Mary’s, in which BYU battled throughout — even taking the Gaels to overtime — but were unable to get the win.
