Brigham Young Cougars forward Luke Worthington (41) puts up a shot during BYU's 75-73 overtime win against the San Francisco Dons at the Marriott Center in Provo on Saturday, Feb. 10, 2018.

MALIBU, Calif. — BYU forward Luke Worthington made his fourth consecutive start Thursday night at Pepperdine.

A team captain, Worthington started the first 17 games of the season before coach Dave Rose decided to bring him off the bench and start Zac Seljaas, starting with the game against Pepperdine on Jan. 11 in Provo.

Seljaas started the next five games, then Rose decided to make Worthington a starter again to provide a more physical presence to the floor.
