HONOLULU — The BYU men’s basketball team recovered from a sluggish start, but poor execution on back-to-back possessions when it mattered most doomed the Cougars in their 85-82 overtime loss to Harvard in opening-round action of the Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic.
Less-than-stellar starts on the road continue to be an unwanted theme for coach Dave Rose’s bunch thus far in the 2015-16 campaign, as the Cougars mustered just one basket in the first 11 minutes against a disciplined and ready Harvard team.
