BYU senior forward Yoeli Childs made a big splash in his season debut against Utah on Wednesday night at the Huntsman Center.
But Childs, like the Cougars, fell just short in a 102-95 overtime loss to the Utes at the Huntsman Center.
After serving his nine-game suspension, handed down by the NCAA due to a paperwork snafu when Childs withdrew from the NBA draft and chose to come back to BYU, the 6-foot-8 forward started hot, hitting three-straight three-pointers at the start of the game. His shooting range continues to improve.
But Childs was eventually sidelined with what appeared to be cramps with less than five minutes left in the second half.
