Texas vs. BYU: Dybatska & Wright to Thrive Against Utah!
Texas got a dramatic win last night, giving them a shot to play BYU tomorrow. The Cougars have one of the best offensive duos in the country.
Last night, Tramon Mark put on his cape to lead Texas to a win over NC State. The final minute of the game was chaotic and nearly season-ending for the Longhorns but they’ve found their way officially into the field of 64. Now, they head to Portland, Oregon to take on the 6-seed BYU.
The Cougars are led by the possible top pick in this NBA draft and an elite scoring PG that can outscore teams by themselves. However, the absence of senior leader Richie Saunders could prove to be the opening Texas needs. Let’s get into the Cougars and why the Longhorns have a real shot at pulling the upset: BYU By The Numbers 23-11 Overall, 9-9 in B1G Play Points Per Game: 83.
9 - 24th in the country Points Allowed Per Game: 75. 3 - 226th in the country Three Point Percentage: 34. 9% - 129th in the country Quad 1 Record: 7-10, 15 Quad 1 & 2 Wins Players To Watch F AJ Dybantsa: This is a name that, if you haven’t heard it yet, you will plenty going forward.
Dybantsa is not only BYU’s leading scorer, averaging over 25 points per game, he leads the entire country. Many believe Dybantsa will be the first name called in the NBA Draft. The 6’9” forward brings a guard skill-set to the table, with elite feel for the game and shotmaking ability.
