BACK WHERE THEY BELONG
BYU is back in the Marriott Center for the first time since a 109-81 victory over Eastern Washington where AJ Dybantsa became the first player in program history and second in Big 12 history with a 30/10/10 triple-double. The Cougars are 6-0 at home this season and have won 10 straight dating back to last season, tied for the 25th longest active home win streak in the nation with Arizona, Nebraska, Oklahoma State and Utah State.
During its current home win streak, which includes a 34-point victory over No. 23 Kansas, BYU is outscoring opponents by 27.2 points per game (90.3-63.1). The Cougars are shooting 52.6 percent from the field, 35.6 percent from three and 74.3 percent from the free throw line.
SWIMMING IN THE DEEP END
Since missing his first nine 3-pointers of the season, Mihailo Boskovic is shooting 85.7 percent from behind the arc including going 2-of-3 from deep in Saturday’s win at Kansas State. It marked the first time the senior from Serbia has connected on multiple 3-pointers since knocking down a career-high three 3-pointers in BYUís double overtime victory at Iowa State last season.
KING KEBA
After going 4-of-4 from the field in the win over Kansas State, Keba Keita now ranks ninth among active NCAA men’s college basketball players in field goal percentage (min. 300 FGM).
Saturday also marked the sixth time in his career that he shot 100.0 percent from the field with a minimum of four field goals made. Last season in league play, Keita shot a program record 68.9 percent from the field (min. 30 FGM).
