Dick Harmon: BYU gets stellar playmaking from guards and team defense in win over Colorado

Our guys are figuring out how this works. They are learning what it takes, what it means in accountability and effort.

PROVO — This time, BYU guards delivered.

In BYU’s 79-71 win over Colorado Saturday night, Dave Rose watched his offense discover what it hasn’t had for much of this early season. He got firepower from his 3-point shooters, playmaking from his guards. And defense.

And it proved deadly for the Buffaloes in the Marriott Center.

He also saw a very physical game from a talented Colorado crew inside. And he enjoyed seeing a defensive effort by the Cougars that limited the visitors to one field goal in the final eight minutes, a stretch in which Colorado made 1 of 12 field goals.
