Byu basketball runs out of gas toward No. 20 Arizona

On Tuesday night, BYU BASKETBALL PROGRAM # 20 Arizona fought in front of a high crow in the Marriott Center. Byu and Arizona acted back and forth all night until a late 13-2 race of Arizona created some separation. At that time, Byu didn’t have enough time to get back into it. With the loss to Arizona, Byu falls to 6-5 in conference games, and their four-game-winning strip ends.

With the victory, Arizona maintains its place at the top of the BIG 12 position with a 10-1 record. Wildcats are playing really good basketball right now. They have won five consecutive matches.

In the second half, Byu went cold from the three -point line. After making seven triangles in the first half, Byu 3/16 shot from three in the second half. When Arizona scored on almost any possession, Byu did not have enough offensive firepower to follow as the triangles stopped falling.

There were a few positive things to pull from this game to Byu, primarily in the Point Guard position. Byu Point Guards Egor Demin and Dallin Hall played some of their best basketball in the season. In particular, Hall was the primary reason why Byu stayed in the game as long as they did. Hall ended with 11 points. It was the best he has seen this season.

Egor Demin attacked the edge of this game better than he has in any game in conference games. Demin ended with 16 points and 3 assists.

Byu seems to jump back on Saturday on the road at Cincinnati.
