Keba Keita - Posts massive double-double Keita provided 22 points (10-15 FG, 2-4 FT), 14 rebounds, three blocks and one steal in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 91-60 win over California Baptist.
Impact Keita reached double figures in scoring for the first time this season, leading directly to his first double double of the campaign during BYU's easy victory. The 22 points were the most he's scored since December of 2023 while the 14 boards represent the second time this season he's ripped down double figures off the glass. The senior big man is a defensive specialist that's usually an offensive afterthought for the high-powered Cougars but nonetheless is shooting 65.7-percent from the floor while averaging 7.5 points, 7.1 boards, 1.5 steals and 2.0 blocks across 18.9 minutes this season.

He and the Cougars are off to a 7-1 start and will play a relatively soft December schedule featuring only one power-conference opponent -- Clemson on Dec. 9.

Impact Wright topped 20 points for the second time in seven games while adding six helpers and a couple of thefts in the hard-fought win. The sophomore point man's playmaking skills have been a perfect fit for the highly-ranked Cougars as he's averaging 17.3 points, 5.4 dimes, 4.0 boards and 1.3 steals across 33.4 minutes per contest.

Richie Saunders - Rebounds with season-high 29 Saunders racked up 29 points (9-15 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and three steals over 38 minutes during Friday's 83-79 win over Dayton.
Impact Saunders got back on track, recording 29 points while draining six triples along the way in the season-best effort. This followed an eight-point performance on Thursday in which he shot just 3-for-10 from the floor. It was the fourth time this season Saunders has topped 20 points, who also added eight boards, two helpers and three thefts in what was an impressive all-around performance for the senior sharpshooter. Through seven games, Saunders is averaging 20.1 points, 5.7 boards, 2.3 assists and 2.0 steals while shooting 51.1-percent from the floor and 43.1-percent from downtown.
