The victory improved the BYU record to 16-8 as a whole and 7-6 in the Big 12 Play. Perhaps the most important thing is that he gave a victory to Byu Quad 1 on the road to increase his potential resumption of the NCAA tournament.

“The best team win for the year”

The 73-69 victory was ghostly against one of the best defenses of the nation. Byu had to grind it for 40 minutes and they came out from above.

Ten BYU players scored in Tuesday. Chief coach Kevin Young believed that he was standing out on the other victories by BYU so far this season.

“I just told our group in the dressing room, probably our best team victory for the year, only for boys to be ready, not to swell or to go on the bench and be able to enter and contribute,”, ” BYU coach Kevin Young said after the victory.

Players like Mikhail Boskovic and Trey Stewart provided valuable bench contributions. Even the reserve point guard Dalin Hall knocked two threes early from the bench to accommodate Byu.

It was a comprehensive effort at night when Byu desperately needed victory to end the loss of three games.

Byu Basketball Clean Rates in the Second Half

The turnover has hurt BYU basketball in losses this season. If they take care of possessions, they would probably have two or three more wins in the Big 12 Play this season.

However, the turn of turnover lifted its ugly face in the first half when BYU gave up nine times to the mountaineers.

“We had nine turnover in the first half, which led to, I believe, 13 points for them; It was a different story in the second half, “Young said. “I think we even managed to get just a little lead there.”

As the young man noted, the second half was a different story. West Virginia scored only four points from the three BYU turnover.

Byu responded to the challenge of bringing the intensity of the glass

In last week’s losses against Arizona and Cincinnati, BYU had ahead of both matches of 15 rebounds. Earlier this week, Kevin Young wanted to see more than his team with the efforts of the glass.

They responded against the West Virginia. Although it lags two at halftime, BYU had an advantage of rebound from 23-13. They finished the game exceeding Western Virginia 35-25.

As it was at the point, it was a team effort, as four players had at least four fights led by Fousseyni Traore by six.

Mihail Boskovic deserves more time

“This three -point game that was at the end. I am very glad we won this, “Boskovic said. “But you know, in this environment where it is difficult to play, this is a great victory.”

Kevin Young noted that the play was created to make Richie Sonders exit the screen and be a continuation of Boskovic to slip behind him. For a rarely used player like Boskovic to improvise and make a basketball game at the end, there was a clutch. He has shown that it is worthy of a few minutes to head to the section of the league game.

Boskovic finished with six points and two fights in nine minutes.

Byu basketball did an excellent job by protecting Javon Small

Western Virginia guard Javon Small has introduced herself as a big 12 player of the year this season for mountaineers. In Tuesday, BYU limited the explosive small to nine points when shooting 2 of 4 of the pitch. He still had nine assists, but it was just the second game this season, where the little one ended with one -digit goal.

Small had only a goal attempt in the second attempt in the second half.

BYU’s protective efforts against Small, led by the Mawot Mag starter and Reserve Trey Stewart, shone with victory.

“We put a lot of time and energy in trying to study his game. Devries does a great job to get him into positions to score, etc. But I think the merit just goes to Mawot Mag and Trey Stewart, along with the other guys behind them. This is something we talked about a lot. He is a difficult cover one to one, so we wanted to try to protect him with more than just one person. “

Byu took care of the business from the free throw line

The charity is an adventure for BYU basketball this season at times. Byu, however, took care of the free business business on Tuesday.

Byu knocked out 13-from-16 from the free throws line. This is an 81% impact factor.

Byu had nine more attempts at free throws than West Virginia (6-7) in the game.
