Dybantsa gets first BYU triple-double since 2016 to lead No. 10 Cougars past Eastern Washington

AJ Dybantsa had 33 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists to lead No. 10 BYU to a 109-81 victory over Eastern Washington

DECEMBER 23, 2025 • Associated Press

Robert Wright III - Dishes out seven dimes Wright closed with 17 points (7-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Monday's 109-81 victory over Eastern Washington.

Impact Wright dished out seven dimes while adding 17 points, though his effort was outshined by the ridiculous 30-point triple double from AJ Dybantsa. Wright has been a quality addition to a BYU squad that lost just one time in non-conference play--a 2-point defeat at the hands of fourth-ranked UConn in Boston back on Nov. 15. Wright has reached double figures in scoring in all but one game while adding six-or-more helpers six times, including reaching double figures in the assist column on two occasions. He closes out a strong performance throughout the non-conference slate by averaging 16.2 points, 5.5 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.7 steals while shooting 45.3-percent from beyond the arc.

AJ Dybantsa - History-making Triple Double Dybantsa closed Monday's 109-81 victory over Eastern Washington with 33 points (11-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 9-11 FT), 10 rebounds, 10 assists and two steals across 36 minutes.

Impact Dybantsa absolutely dominated the Eagles, connecting on all but two of his 13 field-goal attempts in recording a 30-point triple double, making himself the youngest player to ever accomplish the feat. The 10 assists were a career high for the freshman sensation while he topped 30 for the second-consecutive game and reached 10 boards for the second time in three games. That makes six-straight 20-plus point performances for the potential number one overall pick in next year's NBA draft. During that stretch, he's averaging 27.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 2.3 steals while shooting 65.9-percent from the floor across 32.2 minutes. Dybantsa has lived up to the hype throughout the non-conference slate and will look to solidify his national player-of-the-year candidacy once the Big 12-conference schedule kicks off on January 3 against Kansas State.

Keba Keita - Will play Monday Keita (illness) is available for Monday's game against Eastern Washington, Greg Wrubell of BYU Athletics reports.

Impact Keita missed Friday's game against Abilene Christian due to an illness, but the forward recovered in time to play here and should recover his place in the starting lineup. Keita is averaging 7.1 points, 7.4 rebounds and a combined 3.3 steals-plus-blocks per game this season.

Impact Dybantsa topped 30 for the first time in his career, connecting on 9-of-12 from the floor while taking advantage of 20 trips to the charity stripe en route to a massive 35-point performance. It was the fifth-consecutive game with more than 20 points for the freshman superstar, who filled out the rest of the stat sheet with six boards, four assists, a couple of thefts and a blocked shot. During this recent five-game explosion, Dybantsa is averaging 26.8 points, 7.6 boards, 4.8 assists, 2.4 steals and 0.8 blocks while shooting 62.7-percent from the floor as he stakes his claim as the top player in the country.
