🔼 Pink Out. The women’s basketball team had its Think Pink Night game against BYU. Everyone was encouraged to wear pink in support of breast cancer awareness. To Taylor Gibson, this wasn’t just a game, though. Hear her story in the video above.

🔼 2 Down. The men’s basketball team fell to No. 19/17 BYU 90-88. The team was down by 13 at the half but had a major comeback to cut the Cougars lead by just two points. Darius Johnson worked hard on the court and had 20 points. Jaylin Sellers was right behind with 17 points.
