Dishes out 8 assists Demin contributed 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Saturday's 96-95 win over Arizona.

Impact Demin was in attack mode Saturday with 10 of his 13 points coming from the paint while adding eight helpers during BYU's big road upset of Arizona. The talented five-star freshman rebounded in the scoring column after having scored just 12 points combined in his last two games, though he had dished out 13 assists during that same span. Of concern Saturday were a season-high six turnovers as well as his continued struggles from beyond the arc, converting on just 1-of-6 which leaves him at 21.1-percent from long range during conference play. However, the positives continue to outweigh the negatives for Demin. who is expected to be a lottery pick if he chooses to declare for the NBA draft.

Impact Demin led the way for BYU, posting a team-high 16 points during Tuesday's road win. The star freshman also sprinkled in three boards, two assists and a steal on the night as the Cougars broke a two-game losing streak. After posting 7.7 points and 5.9 assists through the first seven games of the Big-12 slate, Demin has picked up his scoring production over the last six, reaching double figures five times while averaging 12.8 points and 4.3 assists during that stretch.

Another good outing Demin totaled 15 points (3-5 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds and seven assists over 25 minutes during Saturday's 80-52 win over Cincinnati.

Impact A lopsided victory resulted in Demin playing a slightly lower minutes total than usual, but he still put forth his best scoring total since November while collecting seven assists for the second consecutive game. He's now second in the Big 12 in assists at 5.9 apg, trailing only Texas Tech's Elijah Hawkins (6.2 apg).

Fills up box score Demin provided 10 points (3-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and two steals in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 85-69 win over Oklahoma State.

Impact Demin filled up the box score on both ends of the court during Tuesday's win, including dishing out his highest assist total since the opening game and recording multiple blocks and steals in a game for the second time this season.

Facilitating the offense Demin had 12 points (4-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, six assists and two steals over 29 minutes during Tuesday's 72-67 loss to Texas Tech.

Impact Demin posted 12 points Tuesday after having scored just seven combined in two games since his return from a three-game absence due to a lower leg injury. Demin has connected on just 26.9-percent of his shots over that stretch, though he's making up for it by posting at least six assists during each of those three contests.

Back in starting five Demin (lower leg) is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Arizona State, Egor Demin of KSL.com reports.

Impact Demin will make his return from a lower leg injury and his insertion right into the starting five indicates that he should play close to his usual minutes. Demin has been huge for BYU this season as a 6-9 point guard that runs this offense.

Available against Arizona State Demin (lower leg) is available for BYU's game Tuesday against Arizona State, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact As BYU's 2024-25 team begins its conference schedule, its most promising freshman prospect will be able to help the Cougars, barring any setbacks. December has been a rough month for Demin, who struggled in his lone game and was injured in BYU's others. However, Demin can finish off 2024 strong with an excellent performance, which was normal in November. He finished that month with 14.3 points, 6.3 assists, 4.9 rebounds and 2.1 three-pointers made per game.

Sidelined again Saturday Demin (lower leg) won't plat Saturday versus Wyoming, per the Clayton News.

Impact BYU will be without one of their top players once again as Demin will miss his second consecutive game due to a lower leg injury, and his next chance to play will be the team's Dec. 20 matchup versus Florida A&M. Trevin Knell will likely get the start at shooting guard in Demin's place.

Not playing Wednesday Demin won't play Wednesday against Fresno State due to a lower-leg injury and will be considered day-to-day going forward, according to Torres On BYU.

Impact Losing Demin is a huge blow for BYU, as the freshman has started in each of the team's eight games this season while averaging outstanding numbers -- 13.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.8 blocks per contest. His next chance to play will come against Wyoming on Saturday. Expect Trevin Knell to be his most likely replacement at the shooting guard position.

Ice cold shooting night Demin finished with six points (0-10 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 83-64 loss to Providence.

Impact Despite what's been an incredibly hot start for Demin, who averaged 15.3 ppg through the season's first six games, the freshman was iced by the Providence defense in this one, as was the rest of the offense in the lopsided defeat. An occasional bump in the road can be expected for the 18-year-old, who faced quality competition overseas at a young age with the Real Madrid junior team.
