The Cougars have now lost three straight games since their 11-game winning streak was rewarded with a No. 25 ranking just 10 days ago, falling 78-75 to Saint Mary’s in a Kids’ Day matinee at the Marriott Center on Thursday.
“Hopefully, we get our swagger back,” said coach Jeff Judkins after the Cougars dropped to 9-3 in West Coast Conference play, 17-6 overall. “We just gotta get a win and get the monkey off our back a little bit.”
Even 3,500 or so screaming elementary school children couldn’t BYU back on track, but not for lack of trying.
