BYU Tops Arizona State, Extends Win Streak to Five

No. 25 BYU extended its winning streak to five games with a 91-81 victory over Arizona State, who was severely undermanned with only six scholarship players available due to injuries and illness. The Cougars showcased impressive shooting, hitting a season-high 17 three-pointers and finishing the game with a shooting percentage of 54.8% from the field. Richie Saunders led BYU with 26 points, while Trevin Knell added 18 points, contributing significantly to the team's offensive performance. Despite struggling at the free-throw line, converting only 6 of 15 attempts, BYU's strong start set the tone for the game, allowing them to maintain control. The victory positions BYU in a tie for fourth place in the Big 12 as they prepare for upcoming games against West Virginia and Iowa State. This win marks the first time since the 2020 season that BYU has won five consecutive games in league play.
