Milos Uzan - All-around offensive productionUzan posted 16 points (6-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and four assists across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 82-66 victory over BYU.
ImpactUzan led the team with 33 minutes on the floor and contributed an all-around offensive effort during Tuesday's win. Uzan remained Oklahoma's main ball-distributer but also contributed four rebounds and made half of his 12 attempts, with each representing his best performance since Jan. 10. The guard had scored just seven points in the previous two outings but took on more of a scoring role in the higher-paced matchup with BYU. The 16 points were a high in conference play for Uzan, who is averaging 9.5 points and 3.4 rebounds in 10 conference games while his 4.7 assists over that same stretch paces the Sooners.

Javian McCollum - Scores 20 in winMcCollum chipped in 20 points (5-11 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 8-8 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 82-66 win over BYU.
ImpactMcCollum posted his fourth 20-point performance of the season and second in conference play during Tuesday's win. Over the last five games, McCollum's performance has replicated the Sooners' results. In their last two wins, the junior guard has posted at least 20 points in each while in their other three games--all losses--he's posted fewer than 10. Also of note is his dwindling assist total, posting just one assist in each of the last three games after contributing three or more in all but three games previous to this most recent stretch. He remains second on the team in assists for the season with 3.5, trailing only Milos Uzan who is averaging 4.5 per contest. In 10 conference games, McCollum is averaging 14.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 0.8 steals over 32.1 minutes per contest.

Noah Waterman - Road struggles continueWaterman produced three points (1-5 FG, 1-5 3Pt), eight rebounds and one assist in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 82-66 loss to Oklahoma.
ImpactWaterman led BYU with eight rebounds though he converted on just one of five shot attempts, all from three, to put up another underwhelming offensive performance Tuesday. The senior forward performed well during the non-conference slate, posting 11.8 points and 6.6 rebounds while shooting 49.1% from the field and 42.9% from three. However, despite maintaining his starting status, he's struggled significantly in eight conference games with just as many zero-point efforts (three) as games with 17-plus points. Specifically, most of his struggles are taking place on the road as he averages 0.8 points and 5.8 rebounds on the road as opposed to 14.8 points and 4.5 rebounds at home during Big 12 play. To that end, three of the next four games for BYU will take place in the friendly confines of the Marriott Center.
