BYU COUGARS NEWS

Spencer Johnson - Questionable Saturday Head coach Mark Pope indicated that Johnson (not injury related) is questionable for Saturday's game against Kansas State, Jay Drew of DeseretNews.com reports.

Impact Johnson's status was downgraded due to his wife going into labor, and Pope said that as of now there is no telling whether Johnson will be available against the Wildcats or not. Johnson has been a key player for the Cougars this season, averaging 10.5 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game, and his absence will certainly be felt should he be unavailable. If he does miss Saturday's game, look for fellow guard Richie Saunders to likely step into a larger role in Johnson's absence.

Dallin Hall - Continues to show off versatility Hall finished Tuesday's 78-71 win over Baylor with 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds and six assists in 31 minutes.

Impact BYU is flush with versatile weapons and Hall continues to prove his worth on the offensive end, providing at least 10 points, five rebounds and four assists for the third consecutive game and fifth total time since the start of conference play. He's also posted at least three boards and three assists in every conference game this season. While the 5.5 assists over those eight games is impressive, even more impressive is that he's accumulated a 3.93 assist to turnover ratio during that stretch which would rank fourth in the nation if extrapolated to a full season.

Aly Khalifa - Shows off all-around game Khalifa had 14 points (5-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 78-71 win over Baylor.

Impact Khalifa drained a season-high four threes en-route to a 14 point effort that represented his highest total since posting 21 on Jan. 20 at Texas Tech and just the third time he's posted double-figures this season. Additionally, the seven assists was one short of a season-high while the seven boards were just two shy of his previous high total. It was the first time the versatile big man has posted double-digits in scoring with at least seven assists and rebounds in the same game in his career. While averaging just 6.3 points this season, he's averaging 4.2 rebounds and 4.2 assists, with the latter representing the highest total amongst all non-guards in the Big 12.
