BYU vs. San Francisco Box Score

SAN FRANCISCO – Five players scored in double figures to lead the BYU men’s basketball team to its first conference road win in an 83-76 victory against San Francisco on Thursday in War Memorial Gymnasium.

"That second half is a good way for us to play," BYU basketball coach Dave Rose said. "We guarded well, I thought we executed well in the half court, we shot free throws well and we rebounded the ball very well."

Kyle Collinsworth led the way with a team-high 19 points on 7 of 10 shooting from the field. Skyler Halford was right behind with 18 points as he hit 11 of 12 from the charity stripe.

Matt Carlino finished with 17 points off the bench, while Tyler Haws ended with 15 points. Mika scored 11 points before fouling out and Nate Austin led the team with eight rebounds.

The Cougars (12-7, 4-2 WCC) and Dons (11-8, 4-3 WCC) traded baskets early with Haws scoring the first BYU points on a 3-pointer less than a minute into the game. After being tied 9-9, USF grabbed a 17-13 lead with under 11 minutes left to play in the first half. Josh Sharp recorded a block at the 12:45 mark and Collinsworth answered back with a two-hand dunk to cut the deficit to two. With 9:33 remaining, Carlino hit a 3-pointer to give BYU the 18-17 lead followed by a Sharp bucket for the three-point lead with just over nine minutes left.

Carlino continued his spark off the bench with an assist to Haws for the layup and another 3-pointer to put BYU up 25-23 with 7:13 remaining in the first half. Carlino and Haws made jumpers to regain a three-point lead, but the Dons took back a 33-31 lead with under two minutes to play. Halford made his first field goal from beyond the arc to give back BYU a one-point lead until USF ended the half on a 4-0 run to lead 37-34 at the half.

A 5-2 start in the second half that included a Mika layup and a baseline jumper by Collinsworth tied it at 39 a piece. USF retook a three-point lead, but Carlino responded back with another 3-pointer to tie it at 46, which was followed by Mika in the post for the 48-46 lead. With 13:14 remaining, Carlino’s steal and assist to Haws led to a slam and a free throw for a three-point play for a 51-47 BYU lead.

Halford later drained three free throws after getting fouled on a three, Collinsworth completed a three-point play to extend the Cougars’ lead to 59-52. Another jumper from Halford gave BYU a nine-point lead with 6:02 left in the game. Despite cutting BYU’s lead to five, the Dons never came back from BYU’s second-half run.

The Cougars shot 55 percent in the second half, while keeping the Dons to a 42.9 shooting percentage to win their fourth game in a row.

BYU will stay on the road to take on Santa Clara on Saturday at 7 p.m. PST. The game will be televised on Root Sports and broadcast on the Cougar IMG Sports Network on KSL Newsradio 102.7 FM/1160 AM.

By the numbers

1.7	Matt Carlino’s career steals average, second all-time in BYU history. His 131 career steals are tied for ninth all-time and the 64 he totaled in 2012-13 as a sophomore are the fourth most in team history.
2	The number of players in BYU history to reach 1,000 career points as a sophomore. Danny Ainge was the first to do so and had 1,130 points in 57 games by the end of his sophomore season (1978-79). Sophomore Tyler Haws joined Ainge when he reached the 1,000 career point mark at Saint Mary’s on Feb. 21, 2013.
3	The number of players in the NCAA ranked in the top 125 in both rebounding and assists: BYU’s Kyle Collinsworth (36th in assists, 82nd in rebounding), UCLA’s Kyle Anderson (8th in assists, T-32nd in rebounding) and Vermont’s Brian Voelkel (T-30th in assists and 95th in rebounding). The three are also the only players in the country that average at least 5.0 assists and 8.0 rebounds per game (rankings as of 1/12/14).
4.7	Matt Carlino’s career assist average, second all-time in BYU history. As a freshman in 2011-12, he averaged 4.6 assists and in 2012-13, he averaged 4.8. His 171 assists last season are the third most in team history. Carlino is averaging 4.6 assists per game this season and tied his career high with 11 against North Texas.
6	The number of career games for Tyler Haws shooting 100 percent from the free throw line with a minimum of 10 attempts, a BYU record. He hit 10 of 10 on Feb. 20, 2010 at Wyoming, 12 of 12 vs. Cal State Northridge on Nov. 24, 2012, 10 of 10 vs. Utah on Dec. 8, 2012, 10 of 10 at Weber State on Dec. 15, 2012, 14 of 14 at Loyola Marymount on March 2, 2013 and 11 of 11 vs. Wichita State on Nov. 26, 2013.
8	With a bid to the 2013 NIT, Dave Rose and the Cougars reached the postseason for a BYU record eighth-straight season. In his first year as head coach, Rose and the Cougars went to the 2006 NIT. That was followed by six-straight trips to the NCAA Tournament and last season’s NIT bid. BYU has also won 20-plus games in each of Rose’s eight seasons.
31	The number of consecutive games Tyler Haws has scored in double figures, a career-best streak and 10th-best in BYU history.
40	The number of 20-point games Haws has in his career at BYU, fifth all-time in program history. He had 25 20-point games in 2012-13, fourth all-time in a single season.
83.3	BYU’s 3-point percentage against Texas (10 of 12), a BYU single-game record (minimum 10 3-pointers attempted). Matt Carlino hit 5 of 7, Frank Bartley IV hit 3 of 3 and Tyler Haws hit 2 of 2.
88.9	Tyler Haws’ career free-throw percentage, first all-time in BYU history. He has hit 407 of 458 from the line in his career.
90.0	Eric Mika’s shooting percentage against Mount St. Mary’s, tied for the BYU freshman record for field goal percentage in a game (minimum 10 attempts). The freshman from Alpine, Utah, hit 9 of 10 from the field and scored 20 points. He shares the record with Fred Roberts, who also hit 9 of 10 vs. Utah State on Dec. 6, 1978.
112	BYU’s point total against Stanford, a 112-103 road win. The point total is the most by a BYU team under Dave Rose and the most since Feb. 25, 1993, when the Cougars scored 128 at home against Sacramento State. It also marked a BYU record for points scored against a Pac-12 team.
220	Dave Rose (2005 to present) is second all-time in BYU basketball history with 220 career victories, behind only the great Stan Watts, who coached the Cougars to 371 wins from 1949 to 1972 and was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1986.
1,546	The number of points Tyler Haws has scored in his career, good for 13th all-time and 23 from tying Lee Cummard for 12th. Haws holds the BYU record for most points scored during freshman and sophomore seasons combined. With 980 career points, Matt Carlino is on pace to become the next BYU player to reach 1,000 career points.

Kyle of all trades

In his first season since serving a two-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Russia, Kyle Collinsworth is averaging 13.5 points, 8.4 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.6 steals per game. He is proving to be the most versatile player in the WCC, especially in league games. Through five WCC games, he ranks in the top eight in the major statistical categories: 7th in scoring, 2nd in rebounding, 1st in assists, T-1st in steals and 8th in blocks. He is also top seven in five other categories: 2nd in FG percentage, 1st in offensive rebounds, 6th in assist/turnover ratio, 7th in defensive rebounds and 7th in minutes played.

30 the old fashioned way

Tyler Haws scored 31 points against Loyola Marymount while hitting 9 of 19 from the field and 13 of 14 from the free throw line. He joined Brandon Davies (33 vs. Weber State on Dec. 15, 2012) as the only other player to score 30-plus points without hitting a three since Keena Young scored 34 vs. UNLV on March 10, 2007. The last BYU wing/guard to score 30 without hitting a three was Travis Hansen on Jan. 5, 2002 when he netted 30 against Pepperdine. Prior to Hansen, the last guard to score 30-plus was Marty Haws, Tyler’s father, on Jan. 4, 1990 vs. Hawaii.

The mythical 5x3 and the 4x3+2

A 5x3 is when a player records at least three in each of the major statistical categories (points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks). Only one BYU player – Rafael Araujo – has recorded a 5x3 since blocks and steals were first recorded beginning with the 1977-78 season. He did so with 24 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks and 3 steals vs. Wyoming on Jan. 19, 2004. Kyle Collinsworth has joined 11 other BYU players who have fallen one stat shy of a 5x3 and recorded a 4x3+2 (at least three in four of the categories plus two in the other). He had 11 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 blocks and 5 steals at Pepperdine and 20 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals vs. LMU. Danny Ainge (2), Lee Cummard (6), Brandon Davies (3) and Greg Kite (2) are the only others to record more than one 4x3+2.

Fantastic freshman

Big man Eric Mika is having one of the top freshman campaigns in BYU history. He is currently ranked in the top six in several categories in the BYU record book, including: scoring (5th), rebounding (6th), field goal percentage (2nd), offensive rebounds (T-6th), double-figure scoring games (T-10th) and consecutive games scoring in double figures (T-2nd).

Setting the scoring standard

Tyler Haws’ 35-point game against Pepperdine is the most points scored by a West Coast Conference player since Haws scored 42 and 37 last season. Those three games are the only times a WCC player has scored 35 or more in the past three seasons. The last time a WCC player scored 35 or more came on March 25, 2011 as Santa Clara’s Kevin Foster scored 35 against Southern Methodist.
