PROVO, Utah - Tyler Haws scored 24 points and Chase Fischer added 16 to lead BYU past Stanford 79-77 on Saturday night.

After BYU built a 13-point lead late in the game, Chasson Randle missed two 3-point shots in the final six seconds that could have won it for the Cardinal.

The Cougars (9-3) got 15 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists from Kyle Collinsworth.

Anson Winder tossed in 13 off the bench.

Stanford (6-3) was led by Randle’s 24 points and five assists. Stefan Nastic added 20 points and nine rebounds. Reid Travis scored 15.

The Cougars made 21 of 29 free throws but missed four in the final two minutes. Stanford was only 7 of 10 from the line.

BYU outscored Stanford 22-13 in points off turnovers and 25-13 in second-chance points.

The game marked the start of a two-game, six-day road trip for the Stanford men. They’ll return to the court Tuesday night at Texas to face the ninth-ranked Longhorns at Austin.
