In the second game of the final installment of the Beehive Classic on Saturday night, BYU and Utah State gave fans something to remember the in-state event by — a nail-bitting, hair-pulling, stressful rivalry game with no clear winner until the final seconds.
But at the end of it all, when the dust settled, BYU topped a competitive USU squad 68-64 in front of 10,291 fans at Vivint Smart Home Arena. Overall, the Beehive Classic drew 14,383 people — the largest attendance record of the event’s three-year stint.
While BYU’s Yoeli Childs was held to four points in the first half, the senior forward finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds for his third consecutive double-double.
