PROVO — Against Santa Clara Saturday night, BYU never trailed, and it led by as many as 13 in the first half.
But the second half featured a hard-fought battle between the Broncos and Cougars, some controversial plays and a dramatic ending.
Guard TJ Haws knocked down a 3-pointer with 1:33 remaining that helped propel BYU to a 80-74 victory before a crowd of 12,709 at the Marriott Center.
What goes through coach Dave Rose’s mind when Haws lines up to take a big shot late in a game?
“What goes through my mind is, ‘I hope it goes in,’” Rose said with a laugh.
