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.

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.

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.
