Game Preview

Ahead of facing No. 11 Baylor in Provo, Utah, on Tuesday night, No. 25 BYU finds itself searching for ways to shore up a suddenly porous defense.

The Cougars (18-7, 6-6 Big 12) trailed wire to wire in a 93-83 loss to Oklahoma State on Saturday after allowing the Cowboys to knock down 11 3-pointers and shoot 59.6 percent from the field. BYU trailed by as many as 20 points in the second half and never drew closer than nine after repeatedly failing to get defensive stops.

Oklahoma State rang up 49 points by halftime after BYU’s soft perimeter defense allowed the Cowboys to go 8-for-14 from beyond the arc over the first 20 minutes.
