Video: Back-to-back second-half steals help give BYU enough cushion to beat Loyola Marymount

LAS VEGAS — BYU had just seen its 13-point lead with 9:29 to play shrink to two points on the heels of an 11-0 Loyola Marymount run.

With 6:26 to play, the Lions had the momentum in a 69-67 game. The Cougars, though, used a pair of steals from reserve Davin Guinn to re-establish some control in their West Coast Conference tournament quarterfinal matchup Saturday at the Orleans Arena.

Here's how those two steals helped BYU bounce back and earn a hard-fought 89-81 win over Loyola Marymount.

The Lions pulled within two after Steven Haney stole a lazy pass and scored on a contested transition layup, the second steal that led to a transition score for Loyola Marymount during the 11-0 run.
