BYU vs. Wichita State Notes and Quotes

BYU vs. Wichita State Box Score

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The BYU men’s basketball team fell short in the CBE Hall of Fame Classic championship game, losing 75-62 to No. 12 Wichita State on Tuesday at the Sprint Center.

"These are hard games for us to win when we're not shooting the ball well," BYU basketball coach Dave Rose said. "I was really proud of the guys for how they hung in there in a tough situation. Sometimes when you don't score you can see it on the guys faces as far as the effort they give on the defensive end and we didn't really see a lot of that tonight. These guys hung in there and fought and we just came up a few points short."  

Matt Carlino finished with a team-high 21 points, six rebounds and two steals, while Tyler Haws added 17 points, going 11 of 11 from the free-throw line, and three rebounds. Nate Austin, who was ejected due to a Flagrant 2 call with 0:45 left in the game, contributed 12 rebounds and two blocks.

Battling through foul trouble, Eric Mika finished with 10 points and Kyle Collinsworth added six points, 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals for the game. Frank Bartley IV scored seven of the bench’s eight points and grabbed three rebounds.

Carlino got off to a good start hitting back-to-back three’s to give BYU a 6-2 lead two minutes into the game. A Mika hook and a Collinsworth drive to the rim extended the lead 12-6 with 15:09 remaining. A Bartley layup from an inbound pass and Carlino’s third 3-pointer capped an 11-0 run at the 12:57 mark to make the score 19-6. The Shockers answered back with an 11-0 run of their own, but was ended by a drive to the basket by Collinsworth to keep BYU up 23-19.

WSU grabbed the 24-23 lead with 6:33 left in the half. With under three minutes remaining, Carlino hit another 3-pointer to cut BYU’s deficit to 32-29. Haws cut the Shockers’ lead to one with two trips to the charity stripe and Bartley’s 3-pointer helped the Cougars take a two-point lead into the half, 36-34. 

Carlino finished the half with 18 points, 4 of 6 from beyond the arc, and three rebounds, while Collinsworth contributed two points, six rebounds, two assists and a steal.

The second half went back and forth with Haws making his first field goal of the game at the 18:50 mark and Austin recording a block on the next possession. WSU retook the lead at 47-44, but Haws answered back with a strong move from the baseline to complete the three-point play and tie it at 47 a piece. With 8:34 remaining, Bartley drove to the basket to tie the game, 51-51.

"Field goals in the second half for us were really tough to come by," Rose said. "Give a lot of credit to Wichita State. It's a very good defensive team. We caused them some real issues with our defense, but in the end it came down to a couple plays. (Fred) Van Vleet didn't hit many threes, but the ones he did were big and Baker the same way."

The Cougars went without a field goal for the last 8:34 of the game and had their last 53-52 lead on Haws’ free throws. WSU pulled away late in the game to drop BYU to a 5-2 record.

"You kind of chalk it up to we've got to be better," Rose said. "The same feeling we had last night of being able to execute late and get a big win is how we feel on the other end tonight, deflated, because the game was right there late to win and we were a few plays short."

BYU will play in-state rival Utah State on Saturday at EnergySolutions Arena at 7 p.m. MST. The game will be televised live on BYUtv 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 113 steals are 14th 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 With three NIT wins last postseason, BYU has won a postseason game for four-straight years, a program record. The Cougars defeated Florida 99-92 in double overtime in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in 2010 and in 2011 BYU advanced to the Sweet 16 with wins over Wofford and Gonzaga. In 2011-12, the Cougars overcame a 25-point deficit to defeat Iona in the First Four in Dayton. It marked the largest deficit overcome in the history of the NCAA Tournament.
4.8 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. His 171 assists last season are the third most in team history. Carlino is averaging 5.5 assists per game this season and had a season-high 8 assists in BYU’s 108-76 win against Mount St. Mary’s.
7 Haws’ rank among NCAA scoring leaders in 2012-13 with a 21.7 scoring average. He joins Danny Ainge, Jimmer Fredette, Michael Smith and Devin Durrant as the only Cougars to finish among the nation’s top 10 scoring leaders and is the only BYU sophomore to achieve the mark. His 780 points are the fourth-most scored at BYU in a season and his 21.7 average is 10th best in team history.
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.
23 Tyler Haws’ point total in the second half vs. Texas, a career high for points after halftime for the junior guard. Haws scored just two points in the first half but took over in the second. Starting with a jumper with 10:45 to go, he scored 21 of BYU’s last 25 points and finished the game with 25 points.
29 BYU’s starting guards combined for 29 of BYU’s 46 rebounds against Weber State. Tyler Haws set a career high with 13, Kyle Collinsworth had 10 boards and Matt Carlino had 6.
32 The number of 20-point games Haws has in his career at BYU, ninth all-time in team history. He had 25 20-point games in 2012-13, fourth all-time in a single season.
83.3 BYU’s 3-point percentage against Texas (10 of 12), a BYU single-game record (minimum 10 3-pointers attempted). Matt Carlino hit 5 of 7, Frank Bartley IV hit 3 of 3 and Tyler Haws hit 2 of 2. 
88 Tyler Haws’ career free-throw percentage, second all-time in BYU history. He has hit 329 of 374 from the line in his career.
90 Eric Mika’s shooting percentage against Mount St. Mary’s, tied for the BYU freshman record for field goal percentage in a game (minimum 10 attempts). The freshman from Alpine, Utah, hit 9 of 10 from the field and scored 20 points. He shares the record with Fred Roberts, who also hit 9 of 10 vs. Utah State on Dec. 6, 1978.
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.
214 Dave Rose (2005 to present) is second all-time in BYU basketball history with 214 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.
1,281 The number of points Tyler Haws has scored in his career, good for 23rd all-time and three from tying Alan Taylor for 22nd. Haws holds the BYU record for most points scored during freshman and sophomore seasons combined. With 833 career points, Matt Carlino is on pace to become the next BYU player to reach 1,000 career points.

Dave Rose

BYU head coach Dave Rose has led BYU to one of the most successful runs in program history since taking over in 2005. His career record of 214-67 ranks him second in BYU history in total victories and first in winning percentage (.762). Rose has been named conference coach of the year three times, district coach of the year twice, led the Cougars to four conference titles, six NCAA Tournament appearances, two NIT appearances, six 25-win seasons and eight 20-win seasons. In 2010, he led BYU to its first NCAA Tournament win in 17 years and the Cougars have also won at least one postseason game in the three seasons since, including a spot in the Sweet 16 in 2011 and a trip to the NIT semifinals in 2013.

National media taking notice

BYU basketball has received a lot of positive attention in the early going, especially from the national media. ESPN.com’s Jeff Goodman recently ranked the nation’s top 10 freshman and has BYU big man Eric Mika at No. 9 (Mika has since moved up to No. 5 on Goodman's list).

Goodman on Mika: ‘The Utah native entered the program with plenty of hype, and has already begun to live up to it.’ Goodman quotes an NBA executive who said: “He’s athletic, tough, runs the court well for their fast-paced offense and is a strong enough body to bang already. He’s got a decent post-up game against the right matchup. He plays really hard and physical -- which is rare for a freshman big man.”

Bruce Pearl, also of ESPN.com, created a list of the top 10 most underrated teams. He has the Cougars at No. 9. He says BYU has ‘one of the quickest and most potent offenses in the country. BYU’s speed is relentless, it shoots more than 50 percent as a team and has a 2-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio.’ Pearl adds that ‘Kyle Collinsworth ... reminds me of a bigger Michael Carter-Williams (rookie with the Philadelphia 76ers).’

Return of Kyle Collinsworth

The 2013-14 season marks the return of sophomore guard Kyle Collinsworth, who spent the last two years serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Russia. As a freshman in 2010-11 he averaged 5.8 points and 5.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.1 steals while shooting .481 from the field. Collinsworth started 27 games on a BYU team that won a team record 32 games and advanced to the Sweet 16 of the 2011 NCAA Tournament. Collinsworth is averaging 12.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.7 steals through five games.

Record streaks

The Cougars will be looking to keep several program-record streaks intact during 2013-14. Coming into the season,  Dave Rose has led the Cougars to eight-straight 20-win seasons and eight-straight postseason appearances, eight-straight seasons with 10-plus conference victories and four-straight seasons with a postseason victory.

Nonconference schedule

BYU’s nonconference slate includes three in-state games, matchups with Big 12 and Pac-12 foes and trips to Kansas City and Springfield, Mass. After opening the season at home with Weber State, BYU will play at Pac-12 foe Stanford in the opener of the sixth-annual ESPN Tip-Off Marathon. The Cougars will also play in the College Basketball Experience Hall of Fame Classic with two games at home and two in Kansas City against Texas and Wichita State. BYU will also host Iowa State, North Texas and Prairie View A&M, play Utah State at EnergySolutions Arena, vs. UMass in Springfield, Mass., and at Utah and Oregon.

BYU’s newcomers

This season’s roster includes five newcomers – three freshmen, a junior college transfer and an NCAA Division I transfer. The freshmen are Frank Bartley IV from Baton Rouge, La., Eric Mika from Alpine, Utah, and Luke Worthington from Mequon, Wis. Skyler Halford comes to BYU from Salt Lake Community College and Chase Fischer is a transfer from Wake Forest.

  • Bartley prepped last season at Future College Prep in California last season and averaged 19.7 points, 8.5 rebounds, 6.7 assists, 3.3 steals and 1.0 blocks while leading his team to the West Coast Prep title.
  • Mika earned third-team All-America honors last season while leading Lone Peak to the MaxPreps.com national title and the 5A Utah state title. He averaged 16.4 points, 11.2 rebounds and 1.7 blocks.
  • Worthington averaged 13.6 points and 10.0 rebounds while leading Homestead High School to a 13-7 record. He was named first-team All-North Shore Conference and all-state honorable mention.
  • Halford was a first-team NJCAA All-American and averaged 17.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.6 steals at SLCC. He led SLCC to the SWAC and Region 18 titles.
  • Fischer played two season at Wake Forest after a successful prep career at Ripley High in Ripley, W.Va. He averaged 4.5 points and 1.1 rebounds and shot .422 from three last season.
