BYU’s win marks their fifth straight conference victory, a notable achievement after a slow start in the league. The Cougars showcased a strong offensive performance with a season-high 17 three-pointers, but struggled at the free-throw line. While ASU made a late push, BYU was able to secure the win thanks to key plays from Richie Saunders and Dallin Hall. BYU coach Kevin Young emphasized the need for defensive improvement despite the win and credited ASU for their efforts. The strong support from BYU fans in the arena was noted, along with the respectful treatment from ASU fans, with Young praising the classiness of the hosting team’s supporters.
