BYU closes in on record after Wyoming win
PROVO, Utah -- No. 14 Brigham Young is one win from reaching a program record.
The Cougars beat Wyoming 81-66 on Wednesday, extending their winning streak to 14 and moving within one victory of matching the best start in school history.
And with two months still left in the season, coach Dave Rose doesn't want to hear about history or the possibility of his team getting complacent while romping through the early part of the Mountain West Conference schedule.
"There was a test lurking, and we responded to it," Rose said. "There'll be a test lurking Saturday and hopefully we'll respond to that."
Tyler Haws scored a career-high 24 points and Jackson Emery had 15 points, five rebounds and four steals for BYU (19-1, 4-0).
"We had high expectations, and guys worked really hard to make this happen," said Haws, a freshman who had never scored more than 20. "We've just got to keep it going."
BYU opened the 1987-88 season 20-1.
Adam Waddell had 15 points to lead Wyoming (8-11, 1-4).
* New Mexico 73, Air Force 50 -- At Air Force Academy, Colo., Phillip McDonald scored 25 points to lead the Lobos over the Falcons.
The Lobos (17-3, 3-2) beat the Falcons for the fifth consecutive time and picked up their third straight victory. Air Force (8-9, 0-4) has dropped five of its last six.
McDonald hit 7 of 10 3-point attempts in the game, and the Lobos hit nine of 13 3-pointers in the second half to pull away. The Falcons hit 3 of 24 3-pointers for the game.
* Texas Christian 70, Texas-Pan American 58 -- At Fort Worth, Texas, Ronnie Moss and Zvonko Buljan each recorded a double-double in the Horned Frogs' victory.
Moss finished with 15 points and 11 assists, and Buljan had 10 points and 10 rebounds for the Horned Frogs (10-9).
Aaron Urbanus and Nick Weiermiller each scored 13 points to lead the Broncs (3-17).
