Crosstown smash: UVU humbles BYU 75-60 for second consecutive season

Chants of “who’s your daddy?” poured down from the rafters.

The pocket of green in the Marriott Center’s upper ring could hardly contain itself. For the second straight year, UVU had taken down big, bad BYU, and this time on the Cougars’ home floor in convincing 75-60 fashion.

Maybe the chants weren’t too far off.

BYU’s shooting woes hit a new low on the season, with the Cougars finishing at a 36% clip from the field and an abysmal 4-26 from behind the arc.

No, that wasn’t a typo. BYU — who drained 19 threes just eight days ago — made just four of 26 attempts from deep against the Wolverines.

Four.

For.

Twenty-six.

Maybe one of those misses could hit the panic button that Pope desperately needs to press.
