Richie Saunders - Leads BYU to huge road win Saunders ended Tuesday's 88-85 2OT victory over Iowa State with 23 points (4-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 13-13 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 47 minutes.

Impact Saunders played all but three minutes of Tuesday's double-OT affair, taking advantage of 13 perfect trips to the charity stripe in pouring in a game-high 23 points. The junior wing added six boards, a couple of assists, a block and a steal as BYU continued their recent tear and moved into position to earn a double bye during next week's conference tourney by taking down the top-10 Cyclones. Saunders paces the Cougars with 16.1 points per game while shooting 51.4-percent from the field and 43.9-percent from deep during his breakout campaign and leads a deep and dangerous BYU squad into the postseason.

Curtis Jones - Scores 16 off bench Jones provided 16 points (4-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds and one steal over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 88-85 2OT loss to BYU.

Impact Jones continues to amp things up following missing one game with an illness, scoring 16 points on 12 shot attempts across the 35 minutes, the most he's totaled in each category in the three games since returning from that one-game absence. Despite coming off the bench for 21 of his 29 appearances this season, Jones leads the Cyclones with 16.7 points per game while shooting 42.5-percent from the floor and 36.8-percent from deep. Jones is capable of taking over games, scoring 20 or more on 10 occasions, and will be relied upon to lead the team offensively as they look to defend their Big 12 tournament championship when the event commences next week.

Keshon Gilbert - Master of thievery Gilbert logged 13 points (4-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist, two blocks and eight steals over 43 minutes during Tuesday's 88-85 2OT loss to BYU.

Impact Gilbert played all but seven minutes in his second game since returning from a two-game absence due to a lat strain, contributing 13 points during the double-OT affair. However, the senior guard's biggest contribution Tuesday came defensively, where he added two blocks and a career-high eight steals to help Iowa State come back from a 21-point deficit to force OT before eventually succumbing to the Cougars in two OTs. Gilbert is the team's second-leading scorer and leading ball distributer, averaging 13.8 points and 4.3 assists per game while adding 1.8 steals on the other end of the floor.
