Eric Mika scored 29 points as the BYU Cougars overcame a 16 point first half deficit to pull off an absolute stunner by beating #1 and undefeated Gonzaga in Spokane for the third consecutive season. T.J. Haws added 17 points on 5/9 from beyond the arc, Elijah Bryant added 14 points, and sparingly used Corbin Kaufusi made the key put-back layup to ice the game in the final minute. Nigel Williams-Goss was the only Gonzaga player who scored more than 12 points, as he finished with 19.
BYU looked shell-shocked to start the game, as Gonzaga got out to an early 18-2 lead behind the post play of Przemek Karnowski and the athleticism of Johnathan Williams around the rim.
