Overview

  • The Cougars moved to 7-1 with a wire-to-wire win, shooting 55% from the field, forcing 14 turnovers and outscoring Cal Baptist 48-28 in the paint.
  • Keba Keita posted 22 points, 14 rebounds and three blocks in a breakout performance that coach Kevin Young called "phenomenal."
  • AJ Dybantsa matched Keita with 22 points and helped fuel an early surge that bucked BYU’s recent slow-start trend.
  • Point guard Robert Wright III added 15 points and 11 assists as all five BYU starters scored in double figures.
  • Depth concerns linger after sixth-man Dawson Baker’s season-ending knee injury, even as BYU looks ahead to Clemson at Madison Square Garden next week; elsewhere, Cal beat Utah 79-72 behind 25 from Dai Dai Ames and 23 from Justin Pippen, dropping the Utes to 6-3.
