The Cougars have not lost at home since, winning 16 straight games at the Marriott Center.
"We love this place, and we love our fan base," BYU center Corbin Kaufusi said Thursday night after the Cougars routed Loyola Marymount 87-62 in front of 12,816. "It was nice to come back and play in front of them."
While BYU was strolling past the Lions, Pepperdine was knocking off San Diego 75-65 at Jenny Craig Pavilion to record its fourth straight WCC win, its longest conference winning streak in 12 years. Burly post player Stacy Davis, who had just 10 against BYU last week in a subpar performance, for him, had a season-high 25 points against the Toreros.
