STOCKTON, Calif. — In BYU’s first West Coast Conference road game of the season, coach Dave Rose liked what he saw from his team in terms of execution, resilience and defensive effort, especially in the waning moments.
Over the final eight minutes of the Cougars’ 69-59 victory over San Francisco Thursday night, they outscored the Dons, 16-3.
“The ability to stop runs and get the momentum back on the road — the first time with this group in league — paid dividends for us,” Rose said.
