Brigham Young Cougars guard Nick Emery (4) taks a jump shot while guarded by Loyola Marymount Lions guard Dameane Douglas (13) during the second half of the game at the Marriott Center in Provo on Saturday, Feb. 2, 2019.

PROVO — Most of the attention was directed toward Gavin Baxter in BYU's 67-49 win on Saturday, and deservedly so, although another BYU player provided big minutes, helping fuel the Cougars' big second half.

Nick Emery, in what was undoubtedly his best game in two years, provided 17 points off the bench, appearing to revert to the fine form he showed early in his career and helping boost the team's overall production significantly.
