Dybantsa gets first BYU triple-double since 2016 to lead No. 10 Cougars past Eastern Washington

AJ Dybantsa had 33 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists to lead No. 10 BYU to a 109-81 victory over Eastern Washington

DECEMBER 23, 2025 • Associated Press

Dishes out seven dimes Wright closed with 17 points (7-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Monday's 109-81 victory over Eastern Washington.

Impact Wright dished out seven dimes while adding 17 points, though his effort was outshined by the ridiculous 30-point triple double from AJ Dybantsa. Wright has been a quality addition to a BYU squad that lost just one time in non-conference play--a 2-point defeat at the hands of fourth-ranked UConn in Boston back on Nov. 15. Wright has reached double figures in scoring in all but one game while adding six-or-more helpers six times, including reaching double figures in the assist column on two occasions. He closes out a strong performance throughout the non-conference slate by averaging 16.2 points, 5.5 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.7 steals while shooting 45.3-percent from beyond the arc.

Just misses triple double Wright provided 26 points (9-17 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists and one block over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 85-68 victory over Delaware.

Impact Wright put together a career night, falling just one rebound and one assist shy of a triple double while setting a new career high with 26 points. The sophomore point guard from Wilmington showed out against his hometown school, connecting on four shots from long range and recording 15 points and seven assists in the second half as BYU erased a surprising halftime deficit and steadily pulled away over the final 20 minutes. The big performance raised his season averages to 18.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists across 31.0 minutes through his first three games with the Cougars.

Solid start to season Wright produced 15 points (7-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Saturday's 98-53 victory over Holy Cross.

Impact Wright put together a solid line, shooting 70.0-percent from the floor as the Cougars cruised to the easy win. The sophomore point guard who transferred in from Baylor over the offseason averaged 11.5 points and 4.2 assists with the Bears last season. He's averaged 14.5 points through two games this season and will serve as the main ball distributor for a Cougar squad that is a prime contender on both the Big 12 and the national stage.

Last Night in College Basketball: Michigan Dominated (Even With The Lights Off)

Available for exhibition game Wright (wrist) is available for BYU's exhibition game Saturday at Nebraska, according to Greg Wrubell of BYU Athletics.

Impact Fortunately for Wright, his offseason wrist surgery will not affect his availability going into BYU's 2025-26 season. It will come with big expectations for the sophomore, whose freshman season with Baylor saw him average 11.5 points per game on 41.4/35.2/79.6 shooting splits in 35 games (21 starts). Wright also joins a revamped BYU program not only in the same Big 12 Conference but also shining with a solid mix of unheralded prospects and collegiate veterans.

Underwent surgery Wright (wrist) posted an update following a recent procedure on his wrist, Sean Walker of KSL.com reports.

Impact Wright, who recently made the move to transfer to BYU, posted an update on his "successful surgery" today. The 6-foot-1 freshman should have plenty of time to get ready prior to the 2025-26 season which is now just under six months away.

Transferring to BYU Wright is transferring to BYU for the 2025-26 season, Joe Tipton of On3.com reports.

Impact Wright will make his way to Mormon town after a successful freshman year campaign with Baylor. The 6-foot-1 guard averaged 11.5 points, 2.1 rebounds and 4.2 assists on 29.3 minutes per game across 35 games (21 starts). He's primed to make an immediate impact as a point guard for the Cougars, especially with many seniors leaving and freshman guard Egor Demin currently declared for the draft.

Will enter portal Wright will enter the NCAA's transfer portal, according to Myron Medcalf of ESPN.

Impact Duke defeated Baylor during the 2025 NCAA Tournament's second round. During it, Wright scored 11 points. After the second-round game, Wright's freshman season is finished, indicating that he has three years of collegiate eligibility and a redshirt remaining.

Leads way in first-round win Wright finished Friday's 75-72 victory over Mississippi State with 19 points (8-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 31 minutes.

Impact Wright came up big for Baylor as the Bears escaped with a three-point win, shooting better than 50-percent from the floor while leading the way with 19 points, the most he's tallied since scoring 24 against Kansas on February 1. Wright had averaged just 4.7 points on 27.3-percent shooting across his previous three games but played very well in helping lead Baylor to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The Bears were a top-10 team in the preseason polls and struggled throughout much of the year but if the freshman point guard can maintain this proficiency, Baylor is more than capable of being a live dog in their next matchup against top-seeded Duke.
