Players to watch
AJ Dybantsa, BYU forward: averaging 23.9 points per game, scored 36 points on Wednesday at Oklahoma State.
Interesting AJ Dybantsa game last night at OSU. Four rough turnovers early, then flipped the switch. Finished with 36p-7r-4a on 5/8 from deep, his most 3PM in a game this season.
Good representation of where his game is right now. At his best leveraging his long strides,… pic.twitter.com/kGLYmI4OJo
