If you told Ute fans they scored 79 points and outrebounded BYU by 15, they would have thought they won. They certainly would not have anticipated a 25-point blowout loss. Jimmer went for 47 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 steals, and only 2 turnovers. 4 other Cougars scored in double figures.
Rebounding was obviously a big concern for BYU as the Utes had 3 players pulling down 10 or more rebounds. Those 3 outrebounded BYU by themselves.
I'm happy to be mistaken again about BYU. They shot better from 3-point range than they did from inside the arc. Their defense forced 22 Utah turnovers and held them 25% from three-point range.
These are definitely two programs headed in opposite directions. I have always thought Boylen was the wrong guy at the helm for Utah. He proves it a little more each week.
