Haws included 16 focuses and five helps and Childs had his second in a row 14-bounce back diversion. The Cougars drove by seven at halftime and shielded Pacific from making any genuine keeps running for the lead.
"Folks had each other's backs," Childs said. "We were in the correct position for help more often than not. There are still a considerable measure things we have to take a shot at, however it's really positive that we have such a great amount to deal with yet at the same time held the other group to 47 focuses."
The initial 20 minutes of the diversion were about streaks – scoring and scoreless, by both groups. A 3-pointer by Haws and a jumper by Mika gave the Cougars a mid 15-7 lead. Pacific then went on a 10-2 burst to tie the score at 17-all with 5:48 to play in the half. The Tigers lined up that keep running with a four-minute scoring dry spell and BYU gradually pushed its lead move down to 11, 28-17, on a take and quick break transformation by Braiden Shaw. The Cougars took a 29-22 advantage into the break.
Pacific shot only 24 percent (7-of-29) in the principal half and BYU blocked six Tiger shots.
Pacific scored the initial two wicker bin of the second half to slice the Cougar prompt to 29-26, however that was as close as the home group could get.
Scratch Emery scored eight straight focuses, including consecutive 3-pointers, for a 37-28 lead. Be that as it may, Emery ran down with a knee harm on a layup endeavor with around 15 minutes to play in the diversion and didn't return.
"Of the considerable number of things that were so sure in this diversion, that is one negative thing," BYU mentor Dave Rose said on the postgame radio show. "We have our fingers crossed on that one. He'll get assessed. It would seem that he is very brave with that left knee, so we'll see."
Elijah Bryant had a decent succession where he bolstered Mika for a couple of dunks, including one for a three-point play, and Mika scored again whenever down for a 49-37 lead with ten minutes to play.

"I truly thought we were so together as a gathering in all that we did," Rose said. "The pace was great to the extent our offense was concerned and our dividing was great. The folks were imparting admirably on both closures, conversing with each other. There are such a variety of variables that go into attempting to have a gathering go out making a course for win diversions."
BYU, which lost a puzzler at San Diego last Saturday, is presently 2-2 in West Coast Conference street amusements.
"We're all attempting to discover our direction, however this is a decent vibe," Rose said. "Doubtlessly this is the best amusement we've played outside the Marriott Center throughout the entire year to the extent all the way."
