Men's Team
The games against San Diego State and Purdue were tough and close games where they barely lost; The other two games were good games from all players with clear wins. With the first game, BYU was able to get a tie for overtime. They almost won in overtime by 2, but San Diego State tied it again and then dominated in the second. It was tough loss. In the game against Chaminade a record was made. Chase Fischer's 10 3-pointers broke Jimmer Fredette's BYU school record of 9. It was also a great game because it was a great comeback for BYU after a hard loss against San Diego State. Some things that kept BYU in the game against Purdue were fast break points, points off turnovers, second chance points, and the better completion percentage on 3-pointers. The Eastern Kentucky game was low-scoring in the first half, but high-scoring in the second as BYU pulled ahead to win by a good margin.
