Last Night in College Basketball: Unbeaten Arizona Survives BYU's 2nd-Half Surge

Robert Wright III - Struggles in loss Wright recorded seven points (3-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Monday's 86-83 loss to Arizona.

Impact Wright was stifled against top-ranked Arizona, putting together a season-worst performance in the losing effort. Wright shot just 3-for-16 (18.8-percent) from the field and 1-for-5 from beyond the arc in posting a season-low seven points. However, despite his struggles, it still wasn't an empty stat line for Wright as he still contributed five dimes, four boards and two steals to showcase why he's been one of the most consistent fantasy performers this season. He'll look to rebound with a better performance on Saturday when BYU travels to Lawrence, KS for a big-time matchup with the Jayhawks.

Richie Saunders - Solid in loss Saunders provided 18 points (7-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal across 35 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 86-83 loss to Arizona.

Impact Saunders was his typical solid self against Arizona, scoring 18 while finishing just one board shy of a double double as BYU's second half comeback attempt fell just short. It was an efficient performance for the senior wing, who connected on 7-for-11 (63.6-percent) from the field, the first time in four games he's made more than half his shots. BYU fell to 5-2 in conference play but with Saunders, AJ Dybantsa and Robert Wright, continues to boast one of the top trios in the Big 12. Saunders is averaging 19.1 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 steals across 33.4 minutes through seven conference games.
