NOTABLE MOMENTS
-Wednesday night saw very different starts from both squads as BYU jumped out to a 21-2 lead within the first six minutes. The Cougars shot 9-for-14 while holding Queens to a 1-for-11 mark from the field during that span. The Cougars put together a 12-0 run which forced a 30-second timeout from the Royals.
-The visiting Royals eventually settled in and closed the final five minutes of the first half on a 21-13 run. During that run, the Royals connected on six shots from downtown.
-After Bryce Cash buried a three-pointer to get the second half underway, the Royals went into a four-minute scoring drought while the Cougars countered with a 9-0 run to extend their lead to 31 heading into the first media timeout of the second half.
 
INSIDE THE BOXSCORE
-The last Queens opponent to bury 15 shots from behind the arc in a game was North Florida (16) last season.
-Chris Ashby saw his 10-game three-point streak snapped in the loss. The streak was the fifth-longest streak in Division 1 program history.
