A great season has come to a disappointing end for the BYU basketball program. On Thursday, 11-seed Duquesne upset 6-seed BYU 71-67. It was slow starts to both halves that plagued BYU on Thursday. 

Duquesne started the first half on a 9-0 run. The Dukes started the second half on a 8-2 run. That -15 point differential was the difference in the game.

Duquesne forced BYU to play their style throughout the game. BYU only shot 24 threes, making 8 of them. 

Jaxson Robinson was fantastic for BYU in what will likely be his last game in a BYU uniform. He finished with 25 points on 8/15 shooting.
