In a hard-fought battle at the Leavey Event Center, BYU topped Santa Clara, 68-63, in its fourth conference game of the season Thursday.
“The win came down to execution and pivotal stops in the final few minutes of the game,” BYU head coach Jeff Judkins said. “We missed some foul shots we usually make, but we were able to convert in other ways. It was a great team win.”
BYU (11-4, 3-1) finished the game shooting 33.9 percent from the field to Santa Clara’s (12-4, 3-2) 33.8. The Cougars outrebounded the Broncos, 44-43, and both teams dished out 13 assists.
