WCC favorite Saint Mary's needs OT to get past BYU, 74-64
PROVO, Utah -- Emmett Naar and Calvin Hermanson each hit 3-pointers in overtime and Saint Mary's pulled out a 74-64 win in overtime in an early West Coast Conference showdown with BYU Saturday afternoon.
The Cougars, picked to finish third behind the favored Gaels and Gonzaga, was just 2 of 9 shooting in the extra period.

Jock Landale put the Gaels (13-2, 2-0) up with a jumper to start overtime and Haws answered, but Saint Mary's ran off eight straight points, sparked by Naar's trey and capped by Hermanson's that made it 70-62 with 1:08 to play.
