The BYU men's basketball team ended its non-conference schedule with a thud on Saturday, losing to No. 19 Mississippi State 103-81 in Starkville, Mississippi, and not much of anything went right.
A big 13-0 run by the Bulldogs midway through the first half built a double-digit advantage leading up to a second half in which the Cougars were outplayed in most every facet during the final 20 minutes of play.
