Just one freshman in historical past scored extra factors of their first NCAA Event sport than AJ Dybantsa did Thursday. It wasn’t sufficient to maintain No. 6 BYU from shedding to No. 11 Texas, 79-71.
Dybantsa scored 35 factors and grabbed 10 rebounds, accounting for practically half of the Cougars’ 71 factors. However he shot simply 1-for-7 from behind the arc as a part of BYU’s 4-for-22 effort on threes because the Longhorns knocked out the NCAA’s prime scorer and the potential No. 1 decide on this yr’s NBA draft.
BYU Cougars could not give AJ Dybantsa sufficient assist
Dybantsa led the NCAA in scoring with 25.3 factors and put up 20 factors earlier than halftime in Thursday’s loss. However BYU felt the absence of Richie Saunders, the crew’s third-leading scorer (18 PPG) who tore his ACL one month in the past. The Cougars have been 19-6 earlier than the damage and went 4-6 on their last 10 video games.
Nonetheless, it did not appear like the Longhorns had any reply for Dybantsa. Throughout an interview with Texas coach Sean Miller, he responded to a query about how they may decelerate Dybantsa by acknowledging, “I do not suppose we will.”
