What you need to know about BYU
Neither the point spread nor the final result favored BYU last Saturday as it fell 93-83 to the Oklahoma State Cowboys. Fousseyni Traore put forth a good effort for the losing side as he scored 17 points, while Jaxson Robinson scored 14 points. Even though it lost, BYU smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 18 offensive rebounds, easily outclassing OK State, which has just six offensive rebounds.
Robinson leads the Cougars with 13.8 points per game, despite starting only six of 24 games. He powers an elite offense that ranks third in the nation in made 3-pointers per game and assists, while ranking ninth in the country in offensive rating. BYU is extremely deep with seven players averaging at least 9.2 PPG, but it isn't the most active defensive team in the land as no Cougar averages more than one steal or one block per game.
