LOS ANGELES — Nobody could blame the BYU basketball team for celebrating loudly in the locker room at Jenny Craig Pavilion after an 88-82 overtime victory at San Diego Thursday night.
TJ Haws poured in a career-high 35 points and Yoeli Childs added 27 points and 12 rebounds as the Cougars rallied from a 14-point second-half deficit. BYU took its first lead of the game with a little more than four minutes remaining, overcame poor free throw shooting down the stretch and outscored USD 13-7 in the extra period.
It marked BYU’s biggest comeback of the season and its fourth consecutive victory.
