After Davis made two free throws at 41 seconds, the Cougars, who were 1-12 from 3-point range in the second half, missed. Jeremy Major made two free throws at 23 seconds and then got a breakaway layup for a 66-59 lead.

BYU came in averaging 88.3 points while Pepperdine allowed 62.

Kyle Collinsworth, who had his third triple-double in BYU's last game, had four points and three rebounds.
