Jizzle James' stellar performance and a strong second-half surge propelled Cincinnati to an 84-66 win against BYU.
Jizzle James erupted for 24 points, draining six 3-pointers, leading Cincinnati to a dominant 84-66 victory over BYU on Saturday night. Despite trailing 42-39 at halftime, Cincinnati unleashed a ferocious 22-2 run to start the second half, establishing a commanding 61-44 lead. Simas Lukosius contributed all five of his points during this pivotal surge, while Josh Reed punctuated the run with a thunderous fast-break dunk.
Day Thomas added 15 points and Reed chipped in with 12 for Cincinnati (14-9, 4-8 Big 12), who shot an impressive 56% (19 of 34) from the field. BYU, having suffered a home loss to No. 20 Arizona on Tuesday, attempted to mount a comeback with back-to-back 3-pointers from Kanon Catchings and Mihailo Boskovic, closing the gap to 66-58 with about eight minutes remaining. However, the Cougars couldn't bridge the deficit any further, succumbing to consecutive defeats after a four-game winning streak
