PROVO, Utah (AP) — Alex Barcello hit five 3-pointers and finished with 20 points to lead five BYU players scoring in double figures and the Cougars beat Utah Valley 82-60.

The Cougars made just four of their first 15 field-goal attempts as Utah Valley (1-1) built a 10-point lead about nine minutes into the game but Barcello scored 14 points — including four 3-pointers — as BYU closed the first half on a 30-6 run to make it 38-24 at the break.

The Wolverines trailed by double figures the rest of the way. Trey Woodbury hit three 3-pointers and finished with a career-high 24 points and Jamison Overton scored 21 for Utah Valley.
