AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. (AP) - Jimmer Fredette scored 25 points and No. 7 BYU used runs of 16-0 and 14-0 to cruise past Air Force 90-52 Wednesday night.
Fredette, the nation's leading scorer, reached the 20-point mark for the 10th straight game to lead the Cougars (23-2, 9-1 Mountain West) to their 12th consecutive victory over the Falcons (13-10, 4-6).
After Air Force cut the BYU lead to 36-27 on an Evan Washington dunk to start the second half, the Cougars scored the next 14 points.
