Four Cougars scored in doubles digits in their season opener as BYU topped UC Riverside, 72-70, in overtime Friday in the Marriott Center.
“I thought Riverside played really well tonight,” BYU head coach Jeff Judkins said. “They shot the lights out, and they usually don’t shoot like that. We did a good job hanging in there, and I’m really proud of my team tonight. They got down when they could have made some bad mistakes, but they stepped it up. Each kid did something in a positive way for us to win that game, and for us, that’s big because it didn’t happen a lot last year.
