No. 5 Houston nagtagal laban sa BYU 73-66 sa quarterfinals ng Big 12 tournament

Nagbalik ang No. 5 Houston mula sa deficit sa halftime upang talunin ang BYU 73-66 sa quarterfinals ng Big 12 tournament sa Kansas City. Umabante ang mga Cougars sa semifinals, habang natapos ang tournament run ng BYU sa 23-11 overall (11-10 Big 12), na nagpapakita ng pangako para sa NCAA tournament.

Sa quarterfinal ng Big 12 tournament noong Huwebes ng gabi sa Kansas City, Missouri, nagpabuti ang No. 5 Houston sa 27-5 sa pamamagitan ng pagpigil sa matigas na koponan ng BYU na naglalaro ng ikatlong laro nito sa tatlong araw. Pumasok ang BYU na may momentum, mula sa pagtala ng tournament-record na 105 puntos sa unang round at pagpigil sa West Virginia sa 48 sa pangalawa, ngunit lumitaw na ang pagod ng mga ito.  nnHouston nauna nang 9 puntos sa simula ng first half, ngunit sumagot ang BYU sa isang 10-2 run, kinuha ang lead sa pamamagitan ng free throw ni Kennard Davis Jr., kasabay ng mga three-pointer mula kay Aleksej Kostic at dunk ni Dominique Diomande. Una ang mga Cougars 41-37 sa halftime, salamat sa 28 puntos mula kina AJ Dybantsa at Rob Wright III.  nnMas mahirap ang second half para sa parehong koponan. Naharap ang Houston sa foul trouble—si Kingston Fleming (17 puntos) ay nakakuha ng third foul niya sa maagang bahagi at fourth sa huli, si Emanuel Sharp (13 puntos) naman ang third sa gitna ng half—ngunit nagtagal pa rin. Nag-shoot ang BYU ng 9-of-28 (32%) pagkatapos ng break, nag-commit ng siyam na turnovers, at natalo sa 36-25 na iskor. Pinagsama ng Dybantsa (26 puntos, lahat sa 40 minuto) at Wright III (15 puntos) na 13 puntos lamang sa 4-of-17 shooting pagkatapos ng halftime; 0-for-5 naman si Davis. Ang 18 turnovers ng BYU ang naging 19 puntos para sa Houston, at natalo rin sila sa rebounding 37-30.  nnSa pagdepensa, nagliwanag ang BYU, pinigilan ang Houston sa 1.09 puntos bawat possession, pilitin ang 16 turnovers, hindi aabot sa 45% FG, at u003c30% mula sa three. Tatlong steals ang nakuha ni Dominique Diomande (ikatlong sunod na laro), 13 rebounds si Keba Keita (pitong offensive) at dalawang blocks, lima raya naman sina Dybantsa at Davis. Nakakuha ang Houston ng 12 mula kay Joseph Tugler at 10 mula kay Chris Cenac Jr.  nnBinasag ni Dybantsa ang Big 12 tournament scoring record ni Kevin Durant noong 2007 (92 puntos) sa pamamagitan ng huling three-pointer. Nakita ni BYU coach Kevin Young ang paglago sa tatlong-larong stretch, kahit wala si Richie Saunders; inaasahan silang No. 6 seed sa NCAA, magpapahinga hanggang Selection Sunday. Haharapin ng Houston ang TCU o No. 14 Kansas sa semifinals noong Biyernes. I-post ng BYU sa Twitter: 'Hard-fought battle. While our Big 12 Tournament run comes to an end, there’s more basketball to play this season.'
