LeJuan Watts - Solid complimentary piece Watts contributed 20 points (6-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Saturday's 84-71 win over BYU.
Impact Watts tallied 20 points while falling two rebounds shy of a double double as the Red Raiders improved to 4-1 in conference play. The junior forward came into the game struggling a bit on the offensive end, averaging 9.6 points while failing to reach double figures in three of the previous five contests. Watts continues to play in the immense shadow of JT Toppin and Christian Anderson, who combined for 49 points on Saturday, but has had some solid performances, crashing the glass for at least seven rebounds in five straight while reaching the 20-point mark on four separate occasions. He'll look to put up a strong follow up performance on Tuesday when the Red Raiders travel to Waco to take on Baylor.

Robert Wright III - Totals career-high 28 points Wright totaled 28 points (9-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 9-9 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Saturday's 84-71 loss to Texas Tech.
Impact Wright led the way for the Cougars, setting a new career-high with 28 points, the third time in four games he's topped 20. The sophomore playmaker added five boards, three assists and a steal, though BYU dropped their first conference game following four consecutive victories to start the Big 12 slate. Wright has been impressive all throughout his first season in Provo but has played especially well through five conference games, averaging 22.2 points, 4.8 assists and 3.8 boards across 37.6 minutes during that stretch.
