UC has now given up 80 or more points in back-to-back games. BYU coach Kevin Young apologized for the shot, but it did give the 17,483 fans at the Marriott Center free subs from Jersey Mike's in a local promotion.

It will be extremely difficult to knock off the Cougars in the mountains. BYU is 9-1 at home and 2-1 in Quad 2 games, as Cincinnati fits that distinction being a team ranked outside the NET's top 30. The Bearcats are 2-1 against BYU since the 1949-50 season, winning by an average of 11 points.

The Bearcats dropped another conference conference game on Saturday night 80-52 to BYU. The Cougars stifled Cincinnati's offensive sets all game and used hot three-point shooting (15-24) to cruise to what tied for the worst losing margin of the Wes Miller era.

BYU hit 11 threes in the second half to run away with a 80-52 win over Cincinnati Saturday night in Provo. BYU took a 28-23 lead into halftime and continued the stingy defense but showed their offensive prowess with a three-point barrage.
