This season marks BYU basketball's first as a member of the Big 12. As of Tuesday, the team ranks sixth in the conference standings with an 8-7 record (20-8 overall this season). Nonetheless, this massive upset at Allen Fieldhouse against one of the best teams in the nation is a huge step in the right direction.
And during the game against Kansas, the team showed why they shouldn't be counted out. BYU basketball came back from a 12-point deficit courtesy of their second-half three-point shooting. As a team, the Cougars had 13 makes from downtown, four of which came from Robinson.
With a return to the win column, BYU basketball looks to finish their last few games strong starting on Saturday, when they face TCU basketball at home.
