The Cougars only played one game last week when they traveled to Lubbock, Texas to take on the Texas Tech Lady Raiders on January 18.
BYU would go on to lose a close two-possession matchup by a score of 70-65, but Gibb’s outstanding performance to lead all scores was what kept the Cougars in the game.
Delaney finished the night with 22 points that included four three-pointers that came on better than 50% from beyond the arc.
