The team had been telling Carter "all week just to keep shooting (and) it was going to fall." Well they were right. Josh tied a career high, and a team tournament high, with 26 points in only 16 shots. BYU head coach Dave Rose decided to double Joe and company down low, and force us to shoot from outside, so "when [Carter] hit that first one, [he] knew it was going to be a big challenge."

Carter had a huge game, but he didn't do it by himself. Joe Jones and Bryan Davis started flat, but after Turgeon "challenged them at halftime" they responded. Joe had a double double with 12 boards and 1o points. Bryan was almost there with 7 boards and 11 points. Kirk and Sloan had 8 each, but Kirks 3 and Sloan's free throws at the end helped seal up the win.

With the win Turge became the winningest first-year coach in Big 12 history.

Here are some highlights if you missed it.


Oh ya, if you get SI, Bryan Davis is on the cover with his tough face:
