First Half

In a tightly contested first half, both teams displayed strong defensive efforts. The 'Canes managed to take an early lead with their aggressive play and led by as much as 6 points. However, the Y's defense was relentless, with Keba Keita standing out by contributing significantly with his shot-blocking prowess. The Cougs managed to close the gap and ended the half trailing by just four points at 33-29.

Second Half

The second half saw a shift in momentum as BYU's offense found its rhythm. Robert Wright III emerged as a key player for BYU, scoring crucial points and making pivotal assists that helped turn the tide in favor of his team. AJ Dybantsa also played an instrumental role on both ends of the court, contributing not only through scoring but also by grabbing rebounds and drawing fouls from Miami players.
