Traore's double-double helps BYU snap 2 streaks in win over LMU

One of the hottest teams in the West Coast Conference went as cold as Thursday night's frigid temperatures on the Wasatch Front. Fousseyni Traore had 11 points, 13 rebounds and three assists for his fifth double-double of the season, and Spencer Johnson scored 10 of his team-high 14 points in the second half to help BYU snap a three-game losing skid with a 89-61 win over Loyola Marymount in front of an announced crowd of 13,363 fans at the Marriott Center. Jaxson Robinson added 13 points and Rudi Williams 13 points and four assists for the Cougars, who had lost four of their previous five games that included a pair of one-point home losses to then-No. 8 Gonzaga and No. 22 Saint Mary's.
