Provo • It might have seemed a little awkward when BYU 5-foot-10 guard Malia Nawahine lined up against her former teammate, 6-foot-6 Utah center Emily Potter, as the rivals got ready for opening tip on Saturday.
Brigham Young (4-5) came into the contest on a four-game losing streak and fell behind in the opening moments against Utah (7-2), which had won six in a row.But the play of Cassie Devashrayee, who had 36 points, enabled the Cougars to come back after falling behind 12-3 early.
And the inside presence of BYU’s Sara Hamson sure didn’t hurt.
