It was just an exhibition game, but Friday night’s matchup between BYU and New Mexico was reminiscent of the days when the two teams battled as Western Athletic Conference and Mountain West Conference foes.

Cougar guard TJ Haws drilled three free throws after being fouled on a 3-point attempt with 36 seconds remaining to help lift BYU to a 79-73 victory at Dreamstyle Arena, also known as The Pit.

The old rivals came together for a charity game that will benefit the victims of Hurricane Harvey in Houston. All proceeds from the game will go to the Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund.
