PROVO, Utah — Saint Mary's stayed within a few possessions of BYU for the first 25 minutes of Saturday's game but a big second half run by the Cougars would prove to be the difference maker as SMC fell 65-51 in the final game of the regular season.
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Gaels were down just five at halftime and took a brief lead over the Cougars minutes into the second half. Matthias Tass hit a three to give SMC a 26-25 advantage two minutes into the final half and then Tommy Kuhse hit a jumper seconds later to put his team up 28-27.
