New role for Tavernari in BYU's 69-43 win over San Fran
While BYU Head Coach Dave Rose has toyed with several different lineups this season, Saturday's starting lineup in the 69-43 victory over San Francisco had a glaring omission... senior forward Jonathan Tavernari.Emery was 5 of 7 from the field, including 3 of 5 on 3-point attempts. Tavernari's two 3-pointers pushed him past Mark Bigelow as BYU's all-time leader in 3-pointers with 214.
San Francisco lost its sixth straight after starting the season 2-0. The 43 points were the Dons' lowest offensive output since a 61-40 setback to Cal Poly last year.
Moustapha Diarra had 13 points and Kwame Vaugh 10 for San Francisco, which was playing without leading scorer Dio Lowhown (illness).
