BYU's defense, experience of Bryant, Cannon led way in 75-66 victory at Utah State

LOGAN — Facing a hostile crowd at The Spectrum Saturday night, BYU relied on its defense, and its two most experienced players, against Utah State.

The Cougars overcame a poor offensive showing early on and rallied from an eight-point first-half deficit to record a 75-66 victory over the Aggies before a crowd of 10,206.

For BYU (6-2), it marked its sixth consecutive win over Utah State (4-5).

Cougar guards Elijah Bryant, who scored 14 of his 15 points in the second half, and McKay Cannon, who came off the bench to pour in 17 points drew upon their experience of playing in raucous environments.
