Scorching hot from deep Davis accumulated 20 points (7-11 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two steals in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 68-48 win over West Virginia.

Impact Davis caught fire from deep, draining 5-of-6 from downtown en route to a season-high 20 points as the Cougars routed the Mountaineers in the second round of the Big 12 tournament. The junior wing has hit 13 triples at a 52.0-percent clip over the last three games and has scored at least 15 points in each, the first time all season he's reached double figures in three straight. The Cougars were hit hard by the loss of Richie Saunders but with the postseason underway, it looks as though Davis is officially stepping up as the third option alongside AJ Dybantsa and Robert Wright.

Elevating scoring production Davis supplied 17 points (6-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and four rebounds in 36 minutes during Saturday's 79-69 victory over Iowa State.

Impact Davis reached double figures for the third time in four games with his 17 points marking the most he's scored since the start of Big 12 play. The 6-foot-6 wing has been a mainstay in the BYU starting lineup this season but is now charged with a larger role thanks to the loss of Richie Saunders to a season-ending knee injury. Davis is now averaging 7.3 points while connecting on just 24.6-percent from three in conference play but has proven to be a capable scorer in the past, averaging 16.3 points and shooting 37.6-percent from deep last season while at Southern Illinois.
