LARAMIE -- Jimmer Fredette and Brandon Davies combined to scored 46 points to lead the BYU men’s basketball team to a 69-62 victory over Wyoming Wednesday in Laramie, Wyoming.
"This was a great team win," BYU head coach Dave Rose said. "Wyoming had a lot of fight in them and we couldn’t get rid of them. Wyoming did a great job defending us and we could never really get into a rhythm offensively.”
With 47 seconds remaining in the game, senior Jimmer Fredette converted on a three-point play to make the score 64-60 and seal the Cougars’ seventh conference victory of the season. Fredette, who leads the nation in scoring (27.6 ppg), finished with a game-high 26-points and added three rebounds and two steals.
Davies finished one rebound shy of a double-double, posting nine rebounds to go along with 20 points, two blocks and two steals in the Cougars’ 21st victory of the season.
Senior Jackson Emery added 12 points and three steals to improve his BYU all-time leading total to 210.
After falling behind 14-8, the Cougars found their shooting touch and went on a 15-0 run to take a 23-14 lead with 6:03 remaining in the first half. Up to that point, Davies and Fredette combined for 15 of the Cougars’ 23 points.
With 8:39 remaining in the first half, senior Logan Magnusson recorded BYU’s eighth steal of the night. The Cougars, who average eight steals per game this year, finished the game with 12 takeaways.
The Cowboys did not let up before the break, riding a 10-0 run to take a 26-25 lead after a Desmar Jackson three-pointer at the 2:01 mark. Fredette would put the Cougars back on top with a three-pointer before the Cowboys tied the game at 28 going into the break.
Davies got things going for the Cougars in the second half, scoring four quick points to give the Cougars a 37-34 lead at the 16:07 mark.
Back-and-forth play continued as the Cowboys took a 41-39 lead with 13:59 remaining in the game. Wyoming capitalized on 15 Cougar turnovers, nearly five more than their 10.7 per game average.
“You have to find different ways to win," Rose said. "We really like it when we can get out in transition and get shots possession after possession and tonight we just couldn’t do that because they wouldn’t let us."
Senior Jackson Emery who was 3-of-15 from the field in the last two games coming into the contest, scored five quick points to give BYU a 44-43 lead with 12:18 remaining in the game.
Despite extending their lead to as much as 10, the Cougars nearly relinquished the lead with the Cowboys pulling with one at 61-60 with 2:01 remaining in the game.
BYU returns to the Marriott Center Saturday, Feb. 5, to face UNLV. Tip off is set for 2 p.m. MDT. The game is sold out and will be televised live on VERSUS.

Wyoming’s Last Outing — No. 4 SDSU routs Wyoming 96-57 behind Tapley
SAN DIEGO (AP)—Sophomore guard Chase Tapley scored a career-high 24 points and No. 4 San Diego State made a school-record 17 3-pointers as it bounced back from a loss at No. 9 BYU to rout Wyoming 96-57 on Saturday night.
SDSU (21-1, 6-1 Mountain West) quickly shook off the disappointment of its first loss, a 71-58 defeat at Provo on Wednesday night, when BYU’s Jimmer Fredette scored 43 points. The Aztecs jumped to leads of 14-0 and 33-11 against the Cowboys.
Wyoming (8-13, 1-6) lost its fifth straight. Desmar Jackson had 19 points and JayDee Luster 10.
The victory came several hours after BYU lost 86-77 at New Mexico. San Diego State won 87-77 at New Mexico on Jan. 15.
The Aztecs put it away in the opening minutes.
Forward Billy White made the first two baskets, including a layup 4 seconds after the opening tip and an alley-oop slam on a pass from Tapley for a 14-0 lead less than 4 minutes in. San Diego State made its first six shots, while Wyoming missed its first four, had two turnovers and had two shots blocked by Malcolm Thomas.
Tapley and D.J. Gay each made a 3-pointer during the opening run.
SDSU led 53-22 at halftime. Wyoming shot just 27.3 percent (9 of 33) in the first half.
Tapley made 10 of 15 shots. His previous career-high was 17 points, which he reached twice as a freshman.
SDSU’s previous 3-point high was 16 against UC San Diego on Dec. 2, 2002. SDSU made its school-record 17 on 33 attempts.
After Wyoming pulled to 16-9, SDSU went on a 17-2 run to jump to a 33-11 lead with 7:50 left before halftime. Gay and James Rahon each hit a 3-pointer, and Tapley had a three-point play.
Rahon scored 14 points, including going 4 of 8 from 3-point range, Gay had 12, all on 3-pointers, and White scored 10. Kawhi Leonard, who had his 14th double-double at BYU despite being ill, had only two points Saturday night. He had six rebounds.
Series Notes
BYU leads the all-time series against Wyoming 103-69. The Cougars are 11-0 against the Cowboys under Dave Rose.
