PROVO — The BYU men's basketball team (5-2) received an early-season gut-check on Saturday when it was handed a 76-62 loss to Houston (4-0) at home, ultimately doubling over in a second half where the visiting Cougars dictated the pace, shut things down on the defensive end and eventually rolled. The end result was a sobering loss for the home Cougars, who had won five straight coming in, with the team leaving knowing a lot needs to be get fixed moving forward.
For the game TJ Haws led all scorers with 25 points, which included a 6-12 effort from behind the arc.
