Waterman also had eight rebounds for the host Cougars and Atiki Ally Atiki chipped in a career-high 14 points and eight rebounds. Jaxson Robinson tallied 10 points in his return to action after sitting out a game with an ankle injury.

The Cougars (12-1) scored 16 points off turnovers and knocked down 14 3-pointers in their fourth straight win. They finished with a 17-4 edge in fastbreak points.

BYU tallied 27 assists on 39 baskets — more than double the number of assists that Wyoming had.

“We’re not selfish,” Ally Atiki said. “If someone is open, we share the ball. I think that’s really important and it’s hard (for opponents) to guard when you move the ball a lot.”

Sam Griffin led Wyoming with 25 points and Mason Walters added 12.

The Cowboys (7-6) lost their 14th straight game in the series with BYU. The teams were conference rivals in the WAC and Mountain West until the Cougars joined the West Coast Conference in 2011.

Wyoming struggled to match BYU’S pace and depth over 40 minutes.

“It’s a slow drip,” Wyoming coach Jeff Linder said. “If your intensity, your discipline, and your effort doesn’t match theirs, they score the ball too well and they move the ball too well.”

Ally Atiki scored three baskets to ignite an 18-0 run midway through the first half. The Cougars scored on six straight possessions during the run, culminating in a jumper by Robinson that gave BYU a 27-10 lead.
