PROVO, Utah – Tyler Haws’ 33 points and a strong second half led the BYU men’s basketball team to an 84-71 victory over Saint Mary’s on Saturday.
"It’s a good win for our team," BYU basketball coach Dave Rose said. "You knew that Saint Mary’s would really give their best effort. Our guys were really good the last 30 minutes of this game as far as responding to the physical nature and consistently making plays and executing our game plan."
Haws went 10 of 17 from the field and 11 of 12 from the charity stripe to go along with seven rebounds for the game. Kyle Collinsworth finished with a near double-double with 20 points and nine rebounds.
Anson Winder and Matt Carlino came off the bench to score seven points each. Eric Mika finished with five points, seven rebounds and two blocks, while Nate Austin added six points, five rebounds and two blocks.
The Cougars got off to a slow start, trailing 14-4 at the 14:58 mark in the first half. Collinsworth scored the next six points for BYU, but the Cougars were still down 10 with 11:13 left in the half. Winder’s drive down the lane and Collinsworth’s three-point play cut the deficit to nine at 28-17.
A 6-2 BYU run that included Frank Bartley IV’s layup in transition, Haws’ first field goal and a Winder 3-pointer at the 5:35 mark made it a six-point game. Collinsworth fed Haws for a 3-pointer to tie it at 35 and the two combined to score BYU's last eight points to make it a one-point game at halftime, with Saint Mary's leading 38-37.
Collinsworth finished with a team-high 14 points and six rebounds at the half, while Haws ended the half with 11 points, four rebounds and two steals. BYU went on a 23-10 run the last 8:26 of the half.
The Cougars and Gaels traded baskets to start the second half with Halford opening it with a jumper to give BYU a one-point lead. Haws scored the next seven BYU points, including another 3-pointer at the 16:11 mark, and was followed by a Carlino drive in transition for the 52-47 lead. Mika’s hook capped BYU’s 13-3 run to lead by nine.
Carlino hit a 3-pointer for BYU’s first double-digit lead at 59-49 with 11:05 remaining. After Saint Mary's hit a three, Collinsworth answered with a three-point play on a baseline drive. Haws continued his hot streak scoring six points in 1:09 to extend BYU’s lead to 77-61 with under four minutes left in the game. Saint Mary’s Garrett Jackson was ejected with a flagrant 2 with under a minute left to play, while BYU kept its double-digit lead.
BYU kept the Gaels to a 36.4 shooting percentage in the second half, while outrebounding them 38-33 for the game. There were a total of nine lead changes and the Cougars scored 15 points off Saint Mary's nine turnovers.
BYU will host Santa Clara on Thursday at 9 p.m. MST. The game will be televised live on ESPNU 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 144 career steals are sixth 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. |
| 4 | The number of players in the NCAA ranked in the top 150 in both rebounding and assists: BYU’s Kyle Collinsworth (53rd in assists, 87th in rebounding), UCLA’s Kyle Anderson (6th in assists, 54th in rebounding), Saint Joseph’s Halil Kanacevic (100th in assists and 49th in rebounding) and Vermont’s Brian Voelkel (21st in assists and 70th in rebounding). Collinsworth, Anderson and Voelkel are the only three players in the country that average at least 5.0 assists and 8.0 rebounds per game (rankings as of 1/30/14). |
| 4.7 | Matt Carlino’s career assist average, first all-time in BYU history. As a freshman in 2011-12, he averaged 4.6 assists and in 2012-13, he averaged 4.8. Carlino is averaging 4.6 assists per game this season. |
| 5 | The number of times a player in the West Coast Conference has scored 35 points or more in a single game since BYU joined the league in 2011. All five instances have been achieved by Tyler Haws: 42 vs. Virginia Tech on 12/29/12, 37 vs. Washington on 3/19/13, 35 vs. Pepperdine on 1/9/14, 48 at Portland on 1/23/14 and 38 vs. Pacific on 1/30/14. The last time a WCC player not named Tyler Haws scored 35 or more came on March 25, 2011 when Santa Clara’s Kevin Foster scored 35 against Southern Methodist. |

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. |

| 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. |
| 223 | Dave Rose (2005 to present) is second all-time in BYU basketball history with 223 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. |

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 13.7 points, 8.1 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.6 steals per game. He is proving to be the most versatile player in the WCC, especially in league games. Through nine WCC games (as of 1/26/14), he ranks in the top 10 in the four of the five major statistical categories: 11th in scoring, 3rd in rebounding, tied for 2nd in assists and 2nd in steals. He is also top 12 in four other categories: 7th in FG percentage, 2nd in offensive rebounds, 11th in assist/turnover ratio and 7th in defensive rebounds.
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 10 in several categories in the BYU record book, including: scoring (7th), rebounding (6th), field goal percentage (2nd), offensive rebounds (3rd), double-figure scoring games (T-7th) and consecutive games scoring in double figures (2nd).
