Fousseyni Traore - 16 points in just 17 minutesTraore finished with 16 points (6-7 FG, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 17 minutes during Saturday's 84-72 win over Texas.ImpactTraore needed just 17 minutes to post 16 points, six boards and a couple of blocks in the win over Texas. The 17 minutes are a high for the junior forward since returning to action Jan. 6 after missing seven straight games with a hamstring issue. After starting all 33 games last year, the junior forward had started the first six games of the season for BYU prior to dealing with the hammy and is amping up his playing time as he moves toward a possible return to the starting lineup. While the injury has caused a dip in his production, down from 12.9 points and 7.8 rebounds to 8.4 and 4.3 this season in 9.3 fewer minutes per contest, Traore is posting career-high marks in field-goal percentage (64.5%) and free-throw percentage (82.6%).
