Bad free throw shooting almost killed the Cougars again, but they were able to hold on and beat the Wildcats.
It wasn't a resounding victory, but it was a win nonetheless — and that counts for something when a team is without one of its best players.
Despite playing without suspended freshman guard Nick Emery, BYU built a sizable second half lead against a dangerous Weber State squad, then held on down the stretch for a 73-68 victory over their in-state counterpart in Salt Lake City.
Chase Fischer led the Cougars with 21 points, while Kyle Davis added 15 points and 8 rebounds.
