San Francisco • The last time BYU played against San Francisco, the Dons came back from a 14-point deficit to beat the Cougars in the Marriott Center. Lo and behold, BYU found itself in the same situation against the Dons here at War Memorial Gymnasium.
And wound up with the same ending.
San Francisco edged BYU 83-82, marking the Cougars’ third consecutive loss to the Dons.
After BYU led by as many as 11 points toward the end of the first half, the Dons put their largest run of the game, 9-0, together to cut the deficit down to 2. However, the Cougars went on to score five unanswered points in the final minute to lead 45-38 at halftime.
The Cougars scored four more points to open up the second half, and shortly after had their largest lead of the game (14), but then wouldn't score again for nearly seven minutes.
During that time, USF put together a 21-0 run while BYU was 0 of 7 and had four turnovers.
Alex Barcello ended the Cougars’ drought with a 3-pointer, followed up by a TJ Haws jumper, but the Dons’ run would continue — outscoring BYU 32-5.
While BYU recovered enough to get within two points with just under a minute left, the Cougars were unable to close out the game. Jake Toolson’s 3-pointer at the final buzzer wasn’t enough.
Haws set a new BYU record for consecutive games started at 123. The senior guard has played in and started every game since his freshman season.
Haws also broke into BYU's Top 10 All-Time in scoring, adding a team-best 20 points on Saturday for a career 1,753 points, passing Mekeli Wesley.
