Saunders with an early Zion bank shot of the game that was nicely done theight shot of the game BYU Mark Pope thought it was off of Baylor and Tony Padilla says I didn't get a good look at it so he had to go with the call and the call was Baylor ball it seemed crazy watching the replay the Baylor player coming over the top of D Hall knocks it out of bounds so that was one of those tough situ ation where you're not late in the game you're not going to get a review on that so it's Baylor ball 1256 to play until halftime the Bears play for their new game high cushion on this possession 1810

but a win neither do we you'll see why BYU fans and preferred Partners stay with us year after year high place Provo where guests like you are our top priority proud sponsor of uu Athletics go Gos in the UCF game he had four threes since hurting his foot he doesn't have more than two threes in any game and in his first 16 games he had 11 games with three or more threes and he had those three and four and five three-pointer games he would go off and Trev hasn't g off in a while it just been a struggle and it has to be tied to the injury right because he missed a game due to it and then when he came back he was a bench player he's starting again now but just since that injury the three-point stroke which was so reliable it just hasn't been for him and you just figure Mark he's going to get hot one of these nights and and see if you go in but it hasn't happened tonight as he's opened up to an 0 for three shooting start from the three-point line it's almost like a golf swing and a little thing can kind of sneak in and I think he's running is shot a little bit and obviously confidence is a big deal he's one of the best Shooters I've ever seen here and even with those numbers he's still around 40% so you just hope he can figure it out sooner rather than later as fo figured out that free throw three-point play completes a three-point play as we come back in and Trev on the bench now BYU with Stewart Johnson Saunders Robinson and F BYU's down 518 to 13 Caleb loner bobbles on the Baseline gets it out to jacobe Walter left side top side to meu's back in the game the hand off to to nun nun back up to the top of the key runs Steward into his screen nun measuring his steps to 8 ft jumps it from there and misses it back rim Spencer Johnson rebound good defensive set for BYU there Trey Stewart transition three John Robinson misses BYU now two for 10 from deep and a loose ball foul will go against Baylor it'll be now four fouls for the Bears to three for BYU Jaden nun does pick up his second foul so the Big 12 player of the week and newcomer of the week May hit the bencher with 112 four to go but Mark it was a one of 14 start Saturday in Still Water a two for 10 start now here from three this team relies too much on the three to be kind of off to these rough starts right and they have too good a Shooters like Jackson like Trevon to to not shoot it better but great job by Trey there as he played great defense on one end he gets an offensive rebound on the other and draws the foul BYU has been rebounding well seven to four right now as Jackson Robinson will drive stop at 10 ft tear drop is back rimmed and just missed and the rebound Jackson Robinson goes back back up with it and missed it again in tight and so BYU 5 for 16 from the field and Outside Inside tough bounces for the moment 18-13 Baylor Ray J Dennis will drive it low deflected pass from Stewart finds the hands of Miro little and he drives and scores Meo little averaging two points a game scores two to give Baylor a seven-point lead at 20-3 Miro little did not score in the first game against BYU Richie Saunders little hesitation gets to the right block and passes out High to Trey Stewart open for three is Richie left side nope missed it long rebound even Mei B oneu two for 11 from Deep 20- 13 Baylor the Bears haven't missed from three they've taken only three they've made them all Mei fouled on his drive by feni Tori or yep they'll give it to F so P picks up its fourth foul four fouls are even now four a piece non- shooting 1029 to play until halftime and Baylor had a comfortable lead from the get-go they opened up8 nothing and they lead Now by 7 20-3 loner out and bridges back in for Baylor well Jackson Robinson with a couple three chances really up close and he doesn't get it and then a guy like little for Baylor able to make an acrobatic layup at The Rim jacobe Walter takes Johnson to the Baseline elevates over him and scores it wow what a shot that's was great defense he couldn't do anything else that's why they're saying lottery for him 2213 Bor by nine for the first time Ali Khalifa back in the game and controls the ball up top Khalifa hands off Saunders Saunders right wing will turn on his man split Defenders Get Low Richie Saunders stops beneath the basket and flips it off the window no good offensive rebound Khalifa and he sticks it up and in BYU just a beast on the offensive boards right now seven to nothing in offensive rebound course B's not missing anything get offensive rebounds they just missed two yeah so not much there to be had but s nothing on the offensive glass and seven Second Chance points for BYU they need those Second Chances right now now 22 to 15 BYU down seven that's part of what makes the three-point shooting work is you get those offensive rebounds Walter to a three top of the key and he misses off the rim right side rebound Jackson Robinson Robinson accelerates into front Court lost the handle on the right side so slows down regains PS fires and scores from three it rolled around and around and around and then drop down and B making a little mini run here down four 22 to 18 and BYU now 3 for 12 from deep might be a lid Buster and the crowd's in it now Baylor used his home crowd to come back against BYU last month in wake up Ray J Dennis on a post up bangs into Robinson once and twice jump hook settles no off the back rim rebound Richie Saunders BYU down four have Trail by as many as nine here in the first half three-pointer right corner no Spencer will drive and take a foul on his way to the hoop he won't get the shot that he made he'll give his team the ball out of bounds however jacobe Walter picks it up that'll be five on Baylor to four for BYU and the coubs trail by as many as nine Trail by only four right now 22 to 18 that number interesting because Baylor Trail by nine in wakeo we're coming back for the win against BYU nice no look from Spencer Johnson to Jackson Robinson down low and he's fouled on his way up I think you should get free throws out of this or no on the floor pointing to the floor on the floor says Tony P wow so Ray J Dennis picks up the Bears sixth team foul the next foul will be free throws for BYU but that was judged to be on the floor but Robinson went up pretty quickly with it they didn't give him the two quick hitter on the inbounds looked like he might have a layup but they grabbed him Robinson's now the trigger man baseline to the right of the standard Richie Saunders from the right corner guarded by Langston love releases Khalifa right side Ali on the top hands off to wman step back three heavy theu missed 10 of its 13 three-point tries Baylor on the rebound Bears leading it by four Ray J bounces low to joosh Josh ojan ojan to the cutter Meo little and Meo Little's blocker right into the hands of ojan WIA they set up for a three-pointer left corner Dennis misses it another offensive rebound to Bridges reset three-pointer missed again left side and Spencer Johnson goes for the rebound a loose ball foul on whom on BYU in the fight for the rebound Richie Saunders picks it up and so Baylor rebound and rebound and rebound and now foul on BYU on a loose ball and will'll stay Baylor basketball as the cooks pick up their fifth foul here in the first half wow the Bears hadn't had to rebound too many misses but they got their money's worth on that possession yeah had two or three there and uh you can't give a team like Baylor that shoots it that well a fourth opportunity here Ray J Dennis trigger man to Bridges open three right side and he missed it short rebound Ali Khalifa So the Cougars catch no damage done out of the extended Baylor possession Spencer Johnson oh free for a moment straightway backs it up now he pulls in fires it scores and BYU's within one 22- 21 the Bears on scoring drown of 2 and 1/2 minutes it's a one-point game after BYU trailed by nine and they're making their distance from the free throw line aggressive confident shot step back from Spencer Ray J Dennis driving kick right corner Langston love stops at the right alley right wing Bridges back to love love will drive and kick Bridges with a 5-sec shot clock into a three contested oh and he banks it in Jaylen Bridges with his second three and that was banked in from the angle he shakes his head as he goes down the floor I hope he was shaking his if to say there's no way I call Bank on that 2521 Baylor what a shot by Bridges he had a massive day against BYU and leads the Bears with eight in this one that was wide right Mark and it goes off the window and in it was not close and that's why it went in cuz it wasn't close 7:05 to play till halftime bears by four after BYU got to within one D Hall splits Defenders gets hit to the ground contact no call lead pass Muro little and he's fouled from behind flagrant one at least a flagrant one on Richie Saunders it'll be free throws in possession for Baylor after this 656

BYU Radio stay curious BYU basketball Big 12 plays here on the new ski BYU Sports Network BYU Athletics would like to recognize qual trick for being tonight's game sponsor and thank them for being an important part of our team qualtrix the leader and creator of the experience management category and five for the fight the campaign to end cancer Baylor 25 and BYU 21 by have made it one-point game but a banked in three from jayen Bridges followed by a breakaway that results in a flagrant foul against Richie Saunders the judgment will be one or two here haven't heard yet maybe it was a one so it'll be a one and that'll mean two free throws and possession though for Baylor so after BYU got it to one Baylor can push it to four on the free throw line and then maybe six or seven on an extended possession BYU nice effort to get back in this one and the Cougars are losing right now because they're being outshot simple as that it's a simple percentage game right now Baylor shooting 59% to BYU's 36% both teams have four threes BYU despite taking five more shots then Baylor has made two fewer field goals than the Bears who lead it 2521 we have 656 to play until halftime and the crowd was really going and uh BYU was right in this game and that banked in three was just a dagger obviously a lot of time it's early in the game but you know BYU made one at West Virginia that really helped them and they got took one on the chin here so you some and you get made some made against you Mark I think you already referenced it in the pregame but we'll uh we'll revisit this note I just mentioned the shooting numbers a minute ago field goal percentage 59 to 36% a sizable Edge for Baylor and they've won 92 straight games when they simply outshoot their opponent and you say that's intuitive but but there are nights when you outshoot the opponent and don't win for whatever reason for instance by out shot Baylor and Waco and lost and UCF outshot BYU here a week ago and and uh and lost that that game so it can happen but when it when it's Baylor it doesn't happen when they when they win the field goal percentage game they win the game 92 straight I'd like to see Kyle vanoi who's in the house maybe suit up with the Cougars and complete some defense yeah Kyle sitting directly across from was court side here at the mar [Music] Center well it wasn't a great foul by Richie I mean he he saved the bucket but you've got to at least make a play on it and he grabbed the little and it could have been very dangerous as little was down on the floor he seems to be okay okay Meo little in Big 12 Play was one for nine coming in two tonight he's one for two in this game and now goes to the free throw line where he makes the free throw so miror little a three-point night and he did not score in the game against BYU in Wake [Music] Up Little gets him BS so Meo little on a four-point night and this is a guy that does does not do a lot of scoring he does very little scoring let's say for for Baylor in fact that is his big 12 high he made three points against Kansas and this is his Now new Big 12 high and it comes in the first 14 minutes of this game three-pointer right corner has missed an airball from Langston love after The Possession following two free throws so it stays a six-point game 27-21 Trevon Nell yes yes that looked like the trevan that was so hot shooting before the injury a month ago a straightway three and BYU within three 2724 beautiful in motion and didn't hurry himself one possession game 628 to play till halftime bridges for three that's strong and rebound Spencer Johnson BYU can get within one or tie on this possession good first half comeback from BYU here and the cougs already five threes now after an early struggling start from Deep they're heating up Khalifa to the cutter Waterman driving down Noah Waterman FS the lane and flushes for two 2726 failor by one it's been a little bit since we've seen that and good to see Ali khif and Waterman connection again rayj Dennis straight away Bridges bridges lost the dribble turn two want a three on two Johnson right wing D Hall transition three he got it and the CBS Take the Lead got have 29 to 27 time out chice Drew thought Drew wow it's an 8 nothing BYU run punctuated by a Dallon Hall three-pointer the cougs have hit four of their last five from three after a two for 11 shooting start from Deep they're red hot and the cougs are on top now after trailing by nine they go up two and this crowd is as loud as it's been all year in the Marriott Center that's vintage BYU basketball first you have the back door to Waterman from Khalifa you get a turnover and then three on two what do you do you flare to the three-point line which is crazy to me cuz that's not never what I did but this team does it cuz you have an opportunity for a three in transition and dhaal just knocked it down just amazing how quick things can turn when you do hit a couple of those threes just Bam Bam and thank you maam you're you're ahead in this game eight of the nine BYU players to see the floor have scored here in the first half 2927 BYU by two it's an 8 nothing spurt that's the sixth player to hit a three as well so spreading it around the six threes from six different players yes Waterman Johnson N hall Khalifa and Robinson that kind of tells you who BYU is when the coaches say everyone can hit it that's what they're talking about a night like tonight all right Baylor basketball rayj Dennis out front and the crowd gets back into it Bridges Walter and Dennis run the weave up high Ray J now accelerates drives and kicks right corner Langston love drives Baseline he stops and passes out to jacobe Walter on an 8sec Ro loock Walter bangs in to Jackson Robinson who fa forces him out to the top the give us Bridges bridges will drive cuff bank and score Jaylen Bridges 10 in the first half to get Baylor back the lead Noah twisted his leg looked like brce was going to be able to come over and help on D but he got taken out of the play by no as he fell into it pardon me tie game 2929 by was up 2927 before the bridges make he loves playing BYU career high 25 in Waco and now 10 here in the first half Robinson penetration stop at 10 ft little Fade Away wide right on the shot Jackson Robinson one of five from the field here in the first half 2929 tie ball game jacobe Walter from the right corner passes right wing Dennis straight away ojan W up Josh o John W dribbles twice and gives there to Langston love and then D Halls call for the hold yeah D pulled his hands away as it to say I didn't foul him but the ref says I think you did he did he did he had his hand on his chest that's two on D so be why you may have to go the final four minutes of the first half without D Hall it's a big foul Mark that's that's going to probably take d off the floor and put Trey Stewart back in the game here or Mark Pope write it out here let's see D saying well they're going to bring in Spencer Johnson to play the point it looks like d May check out here and he will with two fouls that's that's unfortunate D hit that big three a moment ago and was caught playing defense from behind and gets called for the foul it'll put him on the bench and it's free throws too Langston love an 80% free throw shooter one and one on foul number seven for BYU free throw missed rebound Bor reset watching three now Mei up top right wing Walter for three there it is and he misses rebound trevan Nell BYU in four Court 29-29 our score Robinson pulls and fires and misses looked right on lines a little long Jackson's one for three from Deep one for six from the field Bridges blocked by Jackson Robinson and the ball stays in play here Comes trevan Nell the other way hesitation at the three-point line backs it up to the arc and fights Jackson what a play from Robinson that was an angry Jackson there he missed his shot was mad about it and said I'm going to get it back for my team and Baylor took it into Mr Robinson's neighborhood Jackson misses the three top of the key that was wide left and I don't think I caught anything Timeout on the floor will take it Jackson struggling from Deep making plays other ways Robinson one of five from The Arc and one of eight from the field but do you want use in a tie ball game with Baylor the score is 2929 on the new skin BYU Sports

ourselves a 29-29 ball game BYU and Baylor ranked versus ranked this game going Coast to Coast on the mothership ESPN and the viewers there getting a good game the listeners with us getting the same game and it's been back and forth Baylor led by as many as nine BYU took a two-point lead with back into a tie game the field goal percentage again will be so key in this one for Baylor 50% for the Bears to BYU's 39 but the KRS have squeezed off six more shots and the teams are equal in field goals and BYU has made two more threes than Baylor in this one and they're shooting a lot of them 18 threes in this game that's a pretty high number already in this game for BYU and they have made six it's not terrible it's right kind of what I needed from them in this game but what I worry about is Jackson Robinson in games that BYU loses he he has the kind of one for S two for8 type of night he's already at one for seven and when he plays well BYU usually wins and when he doesn't it's his a real struggle and he he looks pretty good out there and a lot of his shots have right have been right close but he needs to just find his range he's too important for BYU it'll be Baylor basketball full court as we come back in Taylor third place in the Big 12 U takes on the second third fourth and fifth place teams here in the final three weeks of League Play gray J Dennis hasn't scored in the game elbow jumper lobs it up no it's not wasn't a jumper it was a lob pass to Eve Mei he hammers home the alleyoop 3129 that was awesome I you does that with a tiki and has some nice dunks but Mei was a Above the Rim next Baylor foul will be BYU free throws back door Trevon Nell receives the pass from Ali Khalifa down the lane the Ali special and Bo ties the game at 31 Trevon Nell's got three Pi it five for [Music] Trevon another lob this one's out of bounds so they have the same idea not the same execution 3131 BYU basketball 305 to play till halftime the cougs have come back from down nine here in the first half and again Baylor came back from down nine to win in wakeo the Cougars can return the favor tonight 301 to PL till halftime BYU basketball cougs right to left as we see it and you hear it he's running Cutters through the lane as the pass goes High to Khalifa Khalifa holds the ball at his waist bounces once and gives to Nell Nell takes a pass from Khalifa straight away trevell pressure it out to the top of the key on a 10-sec shot clock Trevon now at the right elbow out to Khalifa straight away three for the lead got it Ali Khalifa gives BYU the 3431 lead another Mount America Credit Union three-pointer BYU 7 three of the first half and the coups have their game high lead of three at 34 31 great first half for Ali Khalifa eight points four assists done a great job coach Pope telling me pregame wanted to get Ali going Ali is going eight and three and four Dennis straight away Dennis down the lane holds Robinson away could have been a call they don't call it Dennis still on the dribble the tear drop is blocked by Robinson they call the foul Robinson got the ball up high that kind of swung down through and maybe that's the whistle but Ray J Dennis just got his hands all over the defender and pushing off once You' got the ball you've got the ball that's right I mean the Jazz know that call if you hit the ball first and you should be all right wow Robinson played it so well and blocked him Dennis on the floater and Jackson elevates goes up gets the ball and they call the foul it'll be two free throws for Dennis's scoreless of the [Music] night and the free throw good that's a big play Mark 209 to go till halftime all kinds of momentum for by great defensive play and Baylor bailed out on a questionable whistle we saw we saw the hand on ball been Jackson second he had the emphatic block earlier 3432 BYU by two free throw good Dennis two for two it's a 70% free throw shooter making his 95th consecutive start tonight the Toledo transfer double figure scoring in six of seven coming into the game 3433 by's lead one Khalifa right wing straddles the three-point line finds Johnson Johnson quick drive lost his man missed it and then Tipp it and he gets fouled so the Miss was the best thing for the play what a great drive from Spencer Johnson hesitation Defender goes flying Spencer misses the little lay in but gets his follow tip and on the tip he gets fouled and a chance for a three-point play as Miro little tried to draw the foul and then Spencer on the follow gets fouled so BYU bu three and this for a four-point lead 151 to go till halftime great showing from BYU here in the first half as Baylor had such a strong start but the cougs did not go away by any stretch playing some good basketball BYU shooting out to 44% as Spencer Johnson makes the free throw BYU by four for the first time it's 3733 good game here at the Marriot center two rank teams punching counter punching Ray J Dennis out front left side to jacobe Walter Walter brings it high and back to Dennis on the wing right side the pass goes top to Mei Mei into the lane kicks right corner and mirol little with the head Chuck and draws the foul of Nell and on Trevon that'll be one and meol little a surprising factor in this game again little had scored only three points at all of Big 12 play before tonight he's got four in the first half and this for five and six little is a 73% free throw shooter one and one on foul nine so Little's got to make the first and he does not it's one and one they call what do they it had to be one one and one and they missed it they got to go with it they should go with Nero's grabbed it for Johnson this should just be BYU basketball they can't redo this he missed free throw BYU had secured the rebound because little was fouled not on the shot right it was out front so it's one-onone nobody moved so BYU grabbed the re by might have had a better idea by might have had a better idea than Baylor but and they're going to give it back to BYU so it's BYU ball they corrected that quickly so a front end Miss by little it took a little bit of time for them to figure out what had happen 3733 cougar lead a lot going on in this one here today well you led by six at in wo at half Robinson open three oh no he missed it it's great rebound offensive rebound reset Khalifa open for three that's go Ali for three and the CBS lead by seven that is three-pointer number eight in the first half offensive rebound reset three and three for Ali toobe Walter drives blocked on the Baseline foul free throws there's a lot of contact both ways here tonight foul number 10 and that'll be three on Saunders and two free throws for the Bears little missing a big front end a moment ago and that was jacobe Walter forcing the action into Saunders and Khalifa and they G again the fans just got to look at the replay there wasn't a lot there well Richie again got the block on the ball there's contact in the body but certainly got that feels that almost feels like a reaction foul by the referee like he sees the bodies flying and he says I got to call him Walter makes the free throw he's an 86% free throw shooter Walter with six here in the first half the lead for BYU down to six but the cougs have gone on one heck of a run here in Period number one after trailing 22-13 it's a 27 to 14 BYU run as Walter makes him bolt he's got seven the lead down to five 40 to 35 BYU basketball Ali Khalifa by the way 11 three and four points rebounds and assists here in the first half Ali at the top Khalifa

one between San Diego State and Utah State going on right now in Logan we'll update you on what's going on in the Cash Valley but first let's get you back to the All Pro Capital court side seats at the Marriott Center for all the first half details let's rejoin the voice of the Cougars Greg reel thank you Jason BYU with a seven five-point lead at halftime 42 to 37 back in wo Mark as you noted by had a six-point lead in that game the lead actually got to nine in the second half before Baylor roared back and won it by nine at Foster Pavilion but BYU trailing by nine in this one at 22 to 13 and that was 13 points through 10 minutes BYU scored 29 in the final 10 minutes of the first half the three-point shot began to drop at a really prolific rate and BYU still being outshot by Baylor but but uh man doing a lot to get back in and take a lead in this game great final 10 minutes for the Cs yeah that three-point shot really makes a difference in how you play on both ends of the floor really gets you excited gets the fans excited I I don't know what BYU was like 1 for 11 or 12 and and then they finished so strong uh from the three-point line towards the end of the half and played pretty good defense as well uh and uh you know just a nice overall effort I thought they really were getting after it and even when things weren't going their way from the point line the effort was there getting offensive rebounds multiple opportunities I I liked what I saw a lot from the first half for BYU BYU 42 Baylor 37 by's on Pace for 42 three-point attempts by the way uh BYU 46% on 16 of 35 from the field 8 for 21 from Deep 38% that'll do like those numbers will win you games if they are over both halves by made both of its free throws in the first half two for two by board Baylor 19-13 the Bears shoot 54% field 40% Arc and 78% free throw line those are winning numbers too Baylor had five assists to go with five turnovers BYU 10 assists to only three turnovers big number for by offensive rebounds also big for BYU 9 to3 on the offensive glass but this is the key stat of half number one 13 nothing in Second Chance points in BYU's favor the cougs were minus one on the bench points 9 to8 paint points were even at 16 a piece fast break to Baylor 4-3 BYU LED for just 3 minutes and 15 seconds of the first half but they have the lead at the half 42- 37 by led by Ali khalipa 11 points that was his first double digits scoring game in the first half as a BYU cougar yeah he was amazing rebounded decently played good defense but then that three-pointer was going for him and that just opens it up for everybody else and the four assists is what we expect from him Khalifa 11 seven for n six for Johnson fives for Hall and Waterman three for tayori three for Robinson two for Saunders getting it to 42 Baylor gets their 37 led by Jaylen Bridges as 10 points in half number one 4237 cougs over the Bears now back to BYU Radio and more of couger halftime live with your host Jason shefer CH it is back to you thank you very much BYU by five at the break and there are two stats that to me are the reason why BYU has the lead at the half and it boils down to offensive rebounds and second chance points BYU nine to3 advantage in that category it kept the ball alive on a couple of offensive possessions after missed shots BYU was able to capitalize with 13 Second Chance points Baylor with zero and very reminisent of what we saw in Stillwater on Saturday this this game eerily started the same way where Baylor just could not miss and BYU was struggling to hit shots even some open looks but unlike the game in Stillwater BYU just stuck with it they kept grinding out they started going with the hustle plays and I think that's where it comes in these offensive rebounds keeping the ball alive giving this the team second and sometimes three chances at an offensive possession and then eventually the three-point shot started to fall and then that opened things up a little bit then you have some of the back door cuts that you can find and BYU is able to drive to the basket but just kind of sort of staying the course because with 1027 left in the half Baylor was up nine from that point on BYU I wouldn't say they took control of the game but they certainly kicked it into a a higher gear and obviously then would ultimately lead by seven now five at the half but just a a perfect example of just kind of sticking with it and sticking with the game plan making sure that you're doing all the things you need to do from the hustle play area and then the the shots start to fall and that was a really fun first 20 minutes of basketball can't wait for the second half all right let's update you on some other action in the Big 12 uh we will start with the game that's going on right now also at halftime in lck number 23 Texas Tech and TCU all tied at 38 a piece one final from earlier tonight West Virginia gets the win at home in Morgantown over UCF by 10

the marad center BYU basketball presented by Sig freed and Jensen Sig freed and Jensen has been helping Utah families for over 30 years learn more at Sig freed and jensen.com well the by cougars looking to bounce back from a rough setback on the weekend in Stillwater and so far so good uh taking on one of the better well certainly one of the best teams in the Big 12 one of the best teams in in the country and certainly one of the best offenses in the country and by outscores Baylor 42 to 37 in the first half of play Mark I hope it's okay that I share with the audience something you said to be off the air in the halftime about about the nature of BYU's lead and how by's maybe seen some large leads go by the wayside this year that maybe something like this a more a closer game might benefit BYU in in in how hard they had to play to come back in the first half maybe keep that same kind of comeback mentality in mind yeah I like the lead but it may be better to be you have it be a single digit lead where they keep attacking keep being aggressive and not having to kind of hold on to things but rather be the aggressor and I think that may play well for them here in the second half all right second half is about to get underway and Baylor will have the ball jum Baylor will they won the tip but then there was a uh there was one situation in the first half that went to BYU on a I think on an arrow okay so Baylor will have the ball to open the second half and they'll go right to left as we see it and you hear it be you answering left to right D Hall back in the game missed the final four and a half of the first half of foul trouble rayj Dennis will take hall Hall will catch up the Dennis the pass goes left corner for three and that's missed but the rebound Spencer Johnson Waterman across Court turned it over looking to get it back to Spencer Johnson BYU turns it over on the two-on one and B Baylor right back in four Court Dennis to the Baseline out to jayen Bridge's left wing Bridges slips almost fell into the paint throws it up to Walter Walter gives Mei straight away Mei backs down on Khalifa looks to go up and under on him jump hooks it off the window good so Mei scores five and six by got the Miss from Baylor and then took off the other way and a giveaway ends up in points the other way two on one he it's got to be 95% of the time that scores it but 5% got him down to a three-point lead 42 to 39 down hall straight away will take nun to the base jump it over him short gets his own rebound and then gets hit around the head little headlock there by Jaden nun and it will be a foul and BYU out of bounds on foul number one for Baylor in half number two too bad though Mark be the five-point lead and and the ball breaking into four Court looking maybe a seven or eight point lead down to three right now cougs now on The Possession have Waterman straightaway Hall one minute gone here in half number two D three-point line left BYU white and Baylor in the anthy gray with green and gold hul for three in and out wow that was in and popped out tough luck for BYU both ends of the floor here to start half number two 1 minute 15 seconds in Ray J Dennis gets into the middle of the alley underhand scoop and score that's cleverly done by Ray J Dennis's first field goal of the night is a beauty and it's a one-point game that five-point lead is down to one 42 to 41 90 seconds in here in half number two TR trevan Nell up high the hand off to hall now Khalifa operates straight away Ali shoves Mei away gives to Johnson into a three straight away no it's that no good good looks and bad bounces for BYU early in half number two and Baylor can take a [Music] lead Dennis left corner jabbing on Waterman is Bridges bridges now will give him his back and throw it up high to Walter Walter Mei Mei right wing none 10-sec shot clock back to Mei Mei one-on-one into Khalifa off the window and Baylor's back in front that five-point lead did not last long 4342 Baylor opens the second half on a 6 nothing run 1740 to play getting all the looks they want just can't hit him will drive it and drop it over the 10 for two so bew you back in front 4443 after a Baylor 6 nothing spurt to start the second half 1725 to play been clearing out for Mei just to go one-on-one against Ali Khalifa jacobe Walter angle left Dennis holds it low on D Hall calls for the high screen from Mei Hall goes through that screen Dennis will take it low lobit for Mei comes down with the ball and elbows D Hall scores and they call the offensive foul Mei on the clear out that'll be foul number two on Baylor here in half number two and D Hall took it in the ribs better job on that rotation D was able to get in front of me she didn't have to slam dunk alleyoop and then Mei just used his left elbow to clear out Allen and the officials see it but they're going to have to do a but that was a much better they have to that hurt them in the first half that little alleyoop three or four times first on Mei the earlier foul on nun is is third by the way Nell dribbles into a three top of the te and he knocks it down and the cougs are back up four after seeing the five-point lead go away and trailing by one little five nothing spurt for BYU 4743 Trevon now with two threes good to see that I'm so happy for Trevon that may be what gets him out of his Funk seeing a couple go maybe this is the night that Trevon is [Music] back Joshua joha takes a bump will drive bank and Miss on the runner wman the rebound Outlet Hall down floor Johnson Spencer Johnson opening will take it through the lane underhand it to Waterman right side topside Khalifa left corner Trevon again heavy and the rebound Dennis who held off hall for the board 47 43 BYU H comes back and knocks it away from Dennis well done can't keep it in bounds but great Hustle by DH 605 to play here in proo it's 4743 neither team is led by double digits Baylor large lead nine BYU large lead seven it's been a fun Tuesday night Big 12 basketball here at the Marriott Center good stuff Dennis out front 22 shot clock Dennis terminates at the right Junction gets it to Joshua joha and over the small Hall he jumps it up and in off the window Joshua John a points three and four 4745 BYU lead two Khalifa straight away let Waterman pass by gives to Trevon Trevon now will drive it into Bridges underhand scoop it no call on the contact and a miss rebounded by the Bears four Court Dennis trailer Bridges back to Dennis 3 in the lead in and out rebound Khalifa and sends D Hall down floor with it BYU 47 Baylor 45 the under 16-minute media timeout coming on the whist Khalifa up top players cutting around him Johnson straight away runs none into a screen now takes it low into the taller ojama backs him up to the ark hands off to hall Hall straight away Johnson takes o jamuna shows it turns on it jump hook no and then an offensive rebound they set the shot clock but it hit the rim dalon will drive it Lay It Up and score it so a good thing the offici didn't call the ball dead there on that inverton buzzer and BYU takes the four-point lead 4945 that was a beautiful move by Spencer Johnson to get that play underway just didn't finish it but they ultimately do score off of it all time pump fake for ball fake which he just wanted him to make it so you can have the Highlight Dennis spins away from Hall runs into an over Khalifa and tear drops it for the score Ray J Dennis this two-man game is just killing BYU and going have to get some help off the wings rather than having khif and Hall trying to defended danis had no field goals in the first half they've turned he's been turned on in the second half backto back field goals he's got six on four points after halftime 4947 BYU

overwhelming and I really resonated with that especially when she got pregnant with her fourth she didn't have an abortion but she did change the way she thinks about the issue listen to top of Mind anywhere you get [Music] Podcast your home for BYU basketball is the new skin BYU Sports Network in h bu's last four games the Cs made exactly eight threes well they broken that pattern 10 for 26 from Deep right now and those 10 threes to Baylor four the main reason BYU leads by five 52 to 47 cougs over the Bears with 1337 to play here at the marot and let's get to our allpro Capital Money moment of the game we're call it right now we're at the under 16-minute media timeout comes with 1337 to play and the cougs have restored their halftime lead of five it is 42 52 to 46 by Led 42 to 37 at the break so let's call this our money moment of the game and see what the cougs do with this lead over the next few moments put your money to work with smart real estate Investments with all pro capital and that five-point lead was gone pretty quickly because Baylor opened the second half on a six nothing run good response from BYU again to get back in front by five and a great defensive effort that last possession they need more of that because Baylor is able to score a pretty good clip they're 55% from the field but you you gets a stop there they'll have a chance here to widen this lead Ali kifu has been terrific just subbed out so let's see if fusini Tori can kind of Step Up and and play a nice second half here for BYU fo had a three-point play in the first half for his three points on the night fo 50% or better from the field in nine of his last 10 games coming in two tonight in the first game at Baylor back in Waco he was still coming off the hamstring and wasn't yet playing a full complement of minutes in fact he played fewer than 10 minutes in that game did score six points and Theus is now all the way back back and and BYU does appear primed to have a good stretch run healthwise with this group they've got 10 healthy players right now and and I cannot tell you what a what a win tonight would do to BYU's stretch run Outlook as they angle toward Kansas City and then the NCAA tournament again is dipping a little bit last couple weeks got some wins but you know had some red flags there but uh tonight's a a red letter effort so far for BYU that's the number one thing is the effort's been terrific and now the shots are starting to go especially from the three-point line that's a good combination Yeah by just playing a really good game against a very very good team tonight encouraging stuff here from the cougs D Hall runs a point comes into four Court 13 and a half to play here at the Marriot center Jackson Robinson runs things outside the perimeter left and now to trevan Nell right he bangs into the taller Mei beneath the basket still on the bounce terminates doubled and a short pass to fuss in the left lock knocked away from trayor and that a bounds off of Baylor fortunately for BYU I think loner last 7sec shot clock though and Co coach Pope making sure his guys are aware we have a short shot clock situation with 13313 to play and a five-point lead BYU with the ball 5247 CBS in white Baylor and the dark gray green oh Richie had the open three off the inbound didn't want that instead he tear drops it on the drive and scores it Richie Saunders with points three and four and BYU leads by seven and that ties the Cougars game high lead I like watching that Saunders uh loner matchup the curle the blonde curly hair match up Mei nice crossover on F and the turnaround jump Hook is off he missed it right at the rim and F collects the rebound Yanks it away what a possession there defensively for BYU treb a D Hall transition three no he missed it for a 10-point lead and the rebound collected by jayen nun place would have gone nuts up 10 nun good defense by Nell forces none to retrace his steps to the top of the key the give there to Mei even D six points toobe Walter Baseline jumper short on it but he got his own rebound goes back up with it off a pump fake and scores it Walter's got nine that jumper was short minute left his fingertips and he knew it and he tracked it down and makes it a fivepoint game 54 to 49 down hall bounces to fuss who travel the three-point line straight away knocked away from tror F back to hall Hall nun shading him nun goes under the screen Hall's got a taller player on the switch to give us Robinson Robinson lost the dribble on the drive turnover here come the bers down Bears down 5449 lob to Caleb loner he throws down the alleyoop four in a row after BYU went up seven loner hears it from the crowd on the throw down it's 5451 BYU lead down to three on a 4 nothing spurt by the Bears the fifth turnover for BYU that was a costly one pick six as D Hall takes a foul from loner and the second is called took a foul from loner out front and then took a hack from loner down low it'll be BYU out of bounds on the bears third team foul let's note this at the under 12-minute media timeout Baylor's not BYU's not been called for a foul here in the second half it's now 3 nothing fouls Baylor

this is alpr capital.com for more information alpr capital is a proud sponsor of BYU Athletics Cougar's led by seven a moment ago bers made it a 3-point game 5451 1132 to play here at the Marriot center Scott drew Baylor head coach 4 and0 all time against BYU the Cougars looking to make a dent in Drew's personal record against the Cougars how about this this number for Scott drew under Scott drew his teams are 198 and 12 when shooting 50% or better and Baylor's shooting 54% in this game to BYU's 45 might this be the rare game Baylor shoots over 50 and loses or outshoots the opponent and loses because we talked earlier 92 straight wins for Baylor when they simply outshoot the opponent and they are outshooting BYU but the Cs have led for almost as much as Baylor has led in this game yeah I'll streak have to end at some point might as well be tonight and U really looked like they might have a chance to just get some breathing room and had to turn over with the then The Loner dun in transition had a stop got his own rebound scored it so four straight points and I'll be why you will at least have the ball here with a three-point lead the crowd response you hear is for Zach Wilson among the faces in the crowd tonight you got Kyle vano you got Zach Wilson the NFL representation here at the marot center tonight as we come back in BYU basketball beneath the Cougars hoop it'll be Jackson Robinson triggering he's got teammates Spencer Johnson Richie Saunders trevan Nell and Ali Khalifa so no D Hall right now pretty short stint for uh boost as I think Allie's just playing so well tonight it's into Nell and it's Haida Saunders Richie left wing to Jackson Robinson Robinson straightway Khalifa Khalifa toell beats Ray J or B good pardon Johnson Johnson beat Dennis to the base and then Johnson turns it over and no foul on the play it's either a foul or it's knocked away from Johnson he had really good position looked like he's going to score a layup well BYU had only three turnovers in the first half and they've already equaled that number in the first 9 Minutes of the second half dentis is grabbed Spencer Johnson and pulled him away from the ball tough whistle wow it's been tough whistle on a few occas for BYU tonight Jen nun far sideline Baylor down three Mei left to Walter Walter guarded by Johnson Johnson goes over the screen set by Mei who drops down low as the pass goes wide right and the three is missed and offensive rebounded by bayor 54-51 the Bears down three Miss from deep and get it back the three missed by none results in an extended possession jacobe Walter will drive on Robinson Robinson doing well to stay with Walter the head fake shot the miss the foul comes late they call that and a technical foul did he get teed up is there a technical just a [Music] warning they don't like that Mark po stopped his foot and was given a warning tactical foul on the bench and I don't think it was necessarily Mark or was it I think he said I think what Tony P was saying was that he stepped on his foot for the foul I think it was a someone down the bench either way it's a tacnical foul this could change the game here in the second half well the officials should have given Mark a little bit of a leash there after the Miss call against Johnson and then a tough whistle against Jackson Walter technical free throw good it's [Music] missed that may be something that can fire up BYU even more than they are here second Technical and he'll also get free throws right on on the common foul yes one for two on that [Music] trip and now two more these officials the most unpopular guys in Utah County right now they made some questionable calls [Music] here yeah and we don't do a lot of this but it's felt like the more questionable whistles have gone against BYU tonight well there's no question about the Johnson foul that was ridiculous as Walter hits that that Jackson Robinson foul maybe it was a foul but after missing the the Johnson foul it makes it hard to swallow well just minutes ago BYU had a three-point shot for a 10-point lead it did not go and now it'll be a tie game if Walter makes the free throw and Walter makes the free throw so three of four including two technical free throws were tied up at [Music] 54 Baylor came back from down seven to beat BYU and Waco in the second half by by nine they were by seven here in the second half tonight Robinson to restore the lead yes three-pointer top of the key for Jackson Robinson what an answer 1020 to go they did give that technical to Jackson Robinson so he's got [Music] three fouls are now 3-2 Baylor with three by with two 105 to play the KRS up 5754 the lob to Mei good seal to get Mei they call him for a clear out that whistle goes BYU's way so Mei with two in the second half Baylor's got four in the second half and 10:04 to play Saunders got switched on Mei and Mei was very physical but maybe a bit of a a makeup call there for the Johnson Miss back and forth we go here in Provo vastly entertaining game the Cougars have rallied the Cougars have seen a lead dip the Cougars are back in front looking to push it past three Richie Saunders will cut B as D Hall will stay high to Johnson give to Ali Ali airballs that three so the magical touch from The Arc disappears for a moment for Khalifa now four for six from Deep still leads BYU leads all scores with 14 points BYU 57 Baylor 54 945 to go here in Provo jayen nun High to Ray J Dennis he's guarded by Jackson Robinson Robinson gives him 10 ft as Dennis will dribble it right and go right

left Junction pulls it out to the perimeter left Johnson back to d d step back and goes Robinson stripe extended left side the crosscourt skip pass to Spencer Johnson's knocked out of bounds by Jaylen

building just got louder during the timeout of the promotion that won a young man a car and and he had to make three threes and he had a certain amount of time he was missing them all he had he had two and he was missing missing and his last shot he sinks it and the place erupts there are this is a this is a an environment unique in college basketball they do everything right even to the down to the promotions man it's just a fun fun night what a great night of basketball Jackson Robinson just made his last shot and the plays erupted well yeah I mean that was pretty cool too he didn't win a car but he might have helped BYU win this game now you got 8 minutes you're up eight this is probably the biggest eight minutes of the season right now for BYU by the way how crazy a shot was it that Jackson Robinson just made he hit a three shot a three from the right corner it hit every part of the rim and the glass before finally settling in I mean it it was a suspenseful three was in the air and on the rim for about 5 Seconds and he shot it and was holding his pose and that was bouncing and then he got down and just trying to beg it to go in and he got it all right so BYU leading by eight 813 to play 6254 is our score Ray J Dennis controls for Baylor Caleb loner the former cougar lobs it to e to Bridges to The Cutting Mei Mei drives and takes a foul that causing the shot to be missed probably a good foul it'll Force Mei to go to the striper he's only a 58% free throw shooter and he's got a into the Rock the BYU student section R the rock the Roar of cougars Baylor tonight is 10 of 13 at the free throw line Mei on an eight-point night again only a 58% free throw shooter has shoots two with the foul situation five for Baylor three for BYU Mei free throw yes he's got nine scoreless in the first game against BYU nine on this night against BYU this for double figure scoring in seven of his last eight games yes two for two that's a 58% free throw shooter looking smooth

17,9 78 if BYU wins tonight the kogs will have done so from the threo line BYU's outscored Baylor by 24 points at the arc Baylor four threes none in the second half BYU 12 threes four after halftime this is the most threes by's made in a game since 13 in a win at West Virginia the most in a game at home since 13 in a win over Iowa State the Common Thread is it's a win those big numbers come in wins can be why you hold on for the win here in Provo 6256 BYU a Sixpoint lead under eight to play and Baylor started out this game too for two from three so three for three from three three for three so now one for 11 and uh but you can't forget about that because they've got Dennis and nun and and bridges all around 40 40 plus from three so you need to keep defending that three-point line and maybe even let Mei hurt you from two or get two free throws just don't let them get hot from three and BYU chance now to get that lead backed up to eight or nine six different cougs have hit threes in this game for Baylor only three players have hit from Deep BYU will trigger D Hall on the Baseline to the right of the BYU standard he's playing with Robinson Johnson Saunders and Khalifa D Hall handed the ball by Tyler C and knocked out of bounds by Caleb loner by the way loner picked up that foul before the break he's got three Baylor's got six and so by will be in the single bonus on the next Baylor foul and Baylor's still a little ways away from the bonus six to three on the fouls right now so D Hall goes from Baseline send in to sideline send in got a second off the shot clock on that knock away BYU by six 736 remaining Hall Saunders angle right khif up top back door Richie all by himself plays it up and in Ali khipo with his F sixth assist of the night and BYU leads by eight for the second time tonight six 6456 by now looking for a stop and a double digit lead at the other end the lob to Bridges from loner Bridges backing down on the smaller Hall to loner right corner misses the air ball three and Bou coming down floor with it Spencer Johnson no look Khalifa toal for three no it's long and Johnson Robinson couldn't find the rebound right on line just back iron would have given BYU an 11-point lead had shots for 10 and 11-point leads from the three-point line here in the second half just hasn't gotten the bounce Walter takes a foul as he drives he'll get two that foul that whistle is fairly predictable on the drive the Khalifa foul Two Shots here for jacobe Walter Walter six of seven at the free throw line will shoot two into the student section what a 6456 BYU 8 the cougs got a couple three-point uh shots for double digit leads the second half that last one was so enticing right on line from D all just a little long that looked good but what a great cut from Richie Saunders as he went faked a screen on the perimeter free throw good and then he slipped to the hoop that was just masterful cutting 13 for Walter to lead the Bears 14 for Khalifa to lead all players so one for one this for a second of two BYU by seven 6457 646 to go should he miss the ever alert for the rebound fous is in the game now he and wman man the Low Blocks free throw Miss Bo the rebound BYU has only taken two free throws in this entire game 6457 BYU by 7 637 to play BYU runs the weave outside the perimeter 30 ft away dhaal on the bounce sees a double backs off it to a single coverage from Dennis Johnson left corner Hall left wing 10sec shot clock D accelerates to the perimeter jumps a pass to fo who drives it Bo F trayor gives Pou a game high ninepoint lead

Jaylen Bridges his first field goal the second half he's got 13 it's a six-point game seven-point game than you 6660 it's a six-point game scoreboard off a point they say it's a two 6659 is the score F to the cutter Waterman Drive and lays it in BYU by nine again 6859 530 to play none we're going back and forth make and make both ends here Ray J Dennis runs Holland to the screen Dennis Hy dble and lost on the bound turns it over BYU [Music] basketball just textbook offensive execution right now as Baylor's extending the pressure and BYU's making a pay for it so BYU on the Dennis giveaway has the ball leading by nine 6859 515 to play stat monitor shows 6860 6859 on the scoreboard we'll go with that it's a two that previous make by Bridges stallen Hall up top BYU gets fouled out front one and one ojan on the foul with 504 to go now it's massive free throws down the stretch and one thing by has been doing the last two and a half now almost three games is making their free throws they've had excellent nights against UCF Oklahoma State in a loss albeit and today against Baylor they've taken only two but made them and this is a one and one in a nine-point game 6859 BYU lead the cougs have not LED by double digits at any point tonight this is the right guy if your Baylor with the line and he does Miss Baylor the rebound stays a nine-point game 455 to go we're under five E's not lost a game this year leading with 5 minutes to go 18 and0 Dennis to the right Junction Dennis to the right perimeter skip pass left wing done none drives into Hall misses contact no call re B fous the cougs have the ball into Four Courts still a nine-point game ref swalled the whistle there mark y they're letting him play a little bit both sides Trevon Nell bodied on the perimeter back to Hall between the circles 425 to go BYU by 9 6859 D Hall angle right terminate Johnson Quick Pass to Foose on the right block goes to the base now to the middle drops it gets it back waiting waiting knocked out of his hands it ends up in the hands of Johnson Miss fuss Miss rebound Johnson saves on the the Baseline comes down with that new shot clock for BYU and a reset water and three no close and rebound Baer under four to go still a nine-point game Bridges drive and dunk wow BYU Mark had so many chances to go up double digits and did not convert now it's a seven-point game timeout for BYU

bigo tires.com the team you trust leading by nine dhaal wants the free to line to put BYU up 11 but he missed the front end and Baylor got the rebound but Baylor missed it's ensuing chance to score down the floor BYU got the rebound then it was a Miss Li layup by BYU a Miss followup layup and then a Miss three-pointer followed by a Baylor dunk and then to compound that during the break they changed a recent two by bridges into a three and so BYU lost three points since those three chances to score beneath the basket now you're down to a six-point game 6862 BYU with 345 to play almost as bad as missing all those opportunities to score after Noah misses three Baylor was able to get out and get open in transition and get a dunk you've got to get back defensively you've got to make them earn the buckets and that was no time off the clock and two points scored big mistake defensively so it's a two possession game with 345 to play BYU 68 and Baylor 62 neither team has had a double digit lead both teams have led by nine in fact this is exactly what happened in wakeo BYU led by nine Baylor won by nine that was the wide margin for either team but BYU marked multiple chances to go up 1011 here in the second half and nothing going for BYU 1011 12 and now it's six let's see if the Cougars can hang on here in the final 345 this will be fun trevan Nell will trigger for BYU cougar basketball in four Court far side of the floor be you left to right as we see it and you hear it D Hall starts it to Khalifa The Cougars come out of it with a back door to Richie Saunders oh my goodness how did that not go how did that not go Richie Saunders gets the wide open lay in and it rolled off the rim I think he was going to dunk it and then decided not to and it just somehow rolled off how did it Mei drive and score wow oh man alive minutes ago it's a nine-point BYU lead is down to four 6864 Mark they got the play out of the timeout and somehow it rolls off the rim trevan Nell for three yes wow that makes amends in a big way seven-point lead under three to go the Cougars need to stop at the other end Mei into Khalifa pass right corner three Dennis no rebound you're going to get Richie Richie holding Bridges it'll be a non- shooting foul it's out of bounds the Cougars can still get a stop what a massive make by Trevon Nell his first three three-point game since before his injury just needed that rebound it was long and Richie was on the inside against the bigger player now they just need a stop Mark they couldn't get the rebound now they need the stop on the second possession 252 on the clock in to Walter Walter guarded by Nell Walter shoving away nil gets position on him in the post head fake nil knocks it away Walter gets it back bridges on the wing left side kick in the corner Walter Walter to the free throw line spin on Saunders block by Richie what a block by Saunders what a play he totally redeemed himself King Richard 7164 two and a half to go BYU leading it Saunders Cuts back door Hall stays with the outside side now Khalifa gets to operate in his wheelhouse top of the arc Khalifa holds it holds it gives it Nell Nell takes a bump no call pass left on a 7sec shot clock to D Hall down to six down to Five D downhill D reverse laye and he missed it at The Rim bayl on the rebound oh the cougs have had two tight end looks that have rolled off the rim under two to go BYU by seven jayen nun to the rim lays it up and in jayen nun's first bucket after halftime the Baylor layons are going and the cougar lons are dropping off the iron D went time out here D went was reverse when he could have just shot it with his right hand well by leads it by five 145 to go should Baylor somehow win this game we will look at two shots that we will not know how did not go in Richie Saunders with a wide open layup that rolled off the iron and then D Holland has patented reverse like you said comes off the rim as well well so Baylor making seemingly every time it needs to and BYU just grinding away and looking for some better Rim lock down the stretch 105 seconds remain and BYU leads by 571 to 66 BYU trying not to foul I think and it's allowing for some easy shots but you do have still another foul to give so might as well be aggressive you want you basketball brought to you by S freed and Jensen s freed and Jensen has been helping Utah families for over 30 years learn more it's s freed and jensen.com the cougs have gotten their looks just have not seen the ball go through the hoop right at The Rim unbelievable misses too it's just this game could have been over a couple minutes ago couple of those go but they didn't so we're still here we are still here in a two- possession game BYU looking to score here to make it seven or eight again BYU in a single bonus Baylor not yet in the bonus let's see what Jackson Robinson maybe could do here they just had a timeout they'll run a play Maybe maybe it's for Jackson they don't want to shoot too soon 23 Second shot clock 145 on the game Robinson will trigger gets it to Hall perimeter right 140 on the game 20 on the shot D Hall slow bounce right in front of us here at the mar Center Jackson Jackson for three yes he hits it left side and be by eight you called it Mark [Music] 7466 can be you get a stop Dennis in the post turn around jumper it's short with the foul out front it's on the floor non shooting right non shooting now the next foul puts Baylor in the single bonus 125 to go Mark it'ss a threep possession game right now on the Robinson three who else and it's 14 threes for BYU their most in weeks the Cougars lead at 74 to 66 24 second shot clock Baylor will inbound it it's the most threes BYU's made in any big 12 game this season Ray J Dennis the counts at three the counts at four he gets it to Mei Mei to Dennis who races to meet Dennis at the top Dennis into Robinson in the paint kicks Corner Bridges three long rebound loose ball foul on BYU and free throws for Baylor another hold on a long rebound where BYU has inside position but the rebound so long they grab but but it's Mei Mei is due for a Missy because he was two for two a moment ago when he's 58% on the year the foul goes to Khalifa it's an eight-point game and the Miss of the three and the rebound was just so tantalizing cougars could not find it and they call the foul do the officials on BYU one and one Mei front end shoot score wow holy smokes this guy 13 with nine coming after halftime seven-point game this to make it a two possession game 114 to play 7467 B you could really use a miss here keeping a three possession game be interesting to see if Scott drew will foul BYU regardless of what happens here 7467 BYU by 7 114 to go Mei the second of two he's three for three tonight due for a Miss there's the Miss rebound khalipa gives to Hall and BYU is in a three possession game with under a minute to play when D Hall gets it into four Court wow here we go 60 seconds on the clock BYU 74 Baylor 67 fou all if I were them one and one 12 on the shot 53 on the game Khalifa takes a pass from Hall elbow right they give to Saunders pull fire Miss hard Trevon Nell goes for the rebound cannot grab it Mei comes away with it 40 seconds to play BYU by seven none drives low takes a hit out front one and one they wanted the offensive foul they won't get it Baylor forcing the issue draws the foul from Nell and with the clock stopped two more free throw tries Mark well at least one and one that'll be foul number eight and I think they called it on the floor didn't they uh I thought it was on the floor it'll be two or one is it one and one or two here Mark I thought it was called out front on Jaden nun on the drive I thought the whistle came on the drive before the shot went up one and one where is he saying two I couldn't tell the hand signal shock look like one and one they're going for it 7467 free throw up and free throw good by jayen nun do you looking to hang on Trevon Nell was so close to that defensive rebound offensive rebound Mark a moment ago just out of his reach 7468 bewu by six this to make it a five-point game two possession game with 38 seconds to go to get the ball to Robinson for free throws heavy and in it was strong but got the Bounce from the back of the rim and in so 7469 the BYU lead five you know what the BYU halftime lead was was five so we're back where we started 38 seconds to go Baylor will pressure on the end line no can walk that in line he's got Hall Robinson Saunders and Khalifa Still two front ends for BYU before they're in the double bonus still a two possession game two points on The Possession make it a three possession game Trevon Nell into Robinson they knock it away from Robinson and what's the call foul finally so Jackson will go to the free throw line it's a two possession game two free throws make it a three possession game a single free throw will keep it at two will take a 30se second timeout stay right here with a 36.7 Jackson Robinson on the year is BYU's best free throw shooter at 80 9% he's 39 for 44 on the season he's exactly the guy you want it was one week ago tonight Mark Jackson went to the free throw in the final minute and made nine in a row to seal the deal against UCF but this is a one and one on foul number eight front hands are a a different beast but if anyone can do it it's Jackson [Music] Robinson can seal it from the line if they make them 20 of his last 20 two make it 21 of his last 23 he makes the first this make this is the all important one Mark it's a three possession game if he makes this free [Music] throw 7569 be want you by six this to make it seven big big difference between six and seven with 36.7 to go f inif out quicker on defense better rebounder Robinson second of two good again 7669 Dennis no freeze in four court with 35 seconds into a three short on rebound Jackson Robinson they've not fouled him they've not fouled him Robinson backourt Hall there's no foul still no foul now Robinson to four court 20 seconds to go BYU is going to win this game there's the foul 19.4 and BYU is going to do it uh this place deserves this win these this team deserves it they played hard played well what a night 7669 Robinson for one and one it's another one and one it's only foul nine got to make at least one here to push it to it's already a three possession game 19.4 BYU by seven Robinson one and one everyone on their feet here at the Marriott Center he got it again of course he got it again 42 for 47 on the Year from the free throw line BYU by eight this for a nine-point lead Jackson Robinson leading the Cougars with 15 a free throw would lead all scores with 16 on this night 7769 7869 BYU by N9 their game high lead with 19 seconds to go the cougs have done it here at the Mariot Center Ray J Dennis drives kicks left corner Bridges step back three it's long the rebound BYU a foul it's Elementary 7.8 on the clock and the Cougars will defeat the 11th rank Baylor Bears and go back above 500 in the Big 12 what a win for Mark Pope and the cougs Scott drew will lose to BYU for the first time in his career and the cougs will pick up their 19th win on the year their seventh in Big 12 play and stay in the top half of the toughest basketball conference in America what a great bounce back after after a a loss against Oklahoma State for this team to play like they did tonight and get a win against the 11th ranked team in the country remarkable by the way Foo shoots two and misses the first up two this for a double digit lead for the first time tonight interesting though in this game neither team led by more than nine single digits the entire way this was a wild one 7869 missed both 7869 score stays down to six and down to five mirol little with four and with three will drive scoop and score with 2.1 B will inbound in a seven-point game and that'll be your final score a seven-point margin 7871 BYU over Baylor and a sold out area Center this was a fun one Mark yeah I mean college basketball at its finest one of the great Arenas in the country two great teams that both played really well I mean Baylor shoots 49% in this game but BYU finds a way to beat the Bears and Baylor's 92 game streak it's got it of wins of wins when shooting the opponent comes to an end Baylor out shop Buu 49 to 44% but the

as a big 12 member BYU will finish with a winning home record in League Play BYU now 5-2 in Big 12 home games the Maria Center magic in effect tonight uh this place again was as loud as we've heard it in in some time and this was a soldout crowd that had a lot to cheer on this night 17,9 78 in the building as BYU beats Baylor 78 to 71 now we know the power of this building and the Big 12 is finding that out a big way here it's just a great effort I thought uh just Terri the the initially the just the effort was fantastic and they weren't shooting well to start this game but they got going and that execution in the second half was remarkable what they were getting and it it took some really easy missed shots to even keep Baylor in this game because they were getting what they wanted but BYU was just terrific and this environment was great a lot of fun we'll tell you that BYU basketball is brought to you in part by Filmore Spencer Utah's trusted top rated local Law Firm can play offense defense or provide a little coaching Phil Moore Spencer attorneys at law solving problems and seizing opportunities for you your family and your business BYU took care of business five-point lead at halftime Baylor took an early second half lead on a 6 nothing spurt to start to Happ at BYU when they got back in front were basically in front to stay indeed when Baylor went up 4342 by ret took the lead and did not give it back it was a tie game at 5454 over with 10 minutes to play by ended up outscoring Baylor 24- 17 the rest of the way to Win It by 778 to 71 and again Baylor had won 92 consecutive games without shooting the opponent and Baylor outshot the opponent Baylor shot 49% to BYU's 44 but in those numbers Mark you see that BYU got off six 15 more field goal attempts than Baylor 15 more field goal attempts made nine more threes that's a 27o difference at the arc so despite the fact Baylor was 16 of 21 at the line to BYU 6 of n BYU wins it by seven in part due to a tremendous rebounding effort 39 to30 on the glass including 17-6 offensive glass this number is decisive Second Chance points 20 to4 in BYU's favor against a long Baylor team a big 12 team that's long and oh wow that I mean all the all the effort numbers were fantastic for BYU and and it was nice to see them rewarded for that kind of effort BYU basketball presented by Delta the official Airline of BYU men's basketball the cougs are flying high tonight 7871 that's a ranked win it's a q1 win it's a big time win Mark it's an NCAA tournament type team win this is a game you can put in that q1 box and on that resume this will really stand up this this win is massive not that there was a lot of Doubt but if you didn't have BYU as a lock before those who were on the edge look at the game tonight and go that's as good a win as any great team is supposed to have and and BYU I think really helps thems tonight in a big way well you look at some of the best teams in the country whether it's Iowa State who got drilled in this building Houston that barely Eed out a win in this building and now Baylor learned what this building's all about and this team is very very good here and it's just a very good team and I just applaud the way that they came back bounced back from that that loss the other night and we're able to get this win it's really really remarkable and yeah I'm mean this is a big one this is you know this is to have the opportunity to play a top 15 team is so rare in your building and then to win it that's really special Scott Brew had never lost to BYU and BYU gets the win tonight 7871 BYU led by Jackson by Ali Khalifa 14 Jackson Robinson had 13 trevan Nell also had 13 D Hall 10 so four cougs and double figures and almost five cuz Noah Waterman at nine and Richie Saunders at eight Richie made some nice plays tonight as well so many guys contributed uh Spencer Johnson six uh fusen TR had five gets you to 78 Baylor led by 15 from Jaylen uh from 15 from Jaylen Bridges he had 25 in the first game against BYU 13 for Walter 13 for Mei nine for nun six for Dennis six for little four for o ojam three for love and two for loner putting you to 71 again Baylor outshoots BYU 49 to 44% first time in 93 games that Baylor has not won the game in which they've outshot the opponent that's how big those threes were for BYU tonight the Cougars assist a turnover number outstanding 20 assists to seven turnovers Baylor had eight assists to nine turnovers so Baylor's underwater in assist of turnover and BYU more than 2 to one almost 3 to one against a really good basketball team and had 14 turnovers in Waco so they cut that in half and that was part of the problem they lost that lead in the second half and because they took good such good care of the ball here in the second half they were able to maintain that lead Baylor LED for only seconds of the second half by Led for 23 of the game's 40 minutes there were five lead changes there were three ties miscellaneous categories beyond the second chance points BYU in uh BYU in bench points w at 26 to5 paint points went to Baylor 38 to30 fast break to Baylor 11 to5 BYU had three blocks to Baylor's 2
