PROVO, Utah – Tyler Haws moved up to 10th place on BYU’s all-time scoring list with a 38-point performance to lead the BYU men’s basketball team to an 88-78 victory over Pacific on Thursday.
“I thought it was a hard fought game," BYU basketball coach Dave Rose said. "I thought our execution was good at times and our energy was good the whole game. You look at the stats and we had 17 offensive rebounds and 10 steals, and that tells you that our guys are active, involved and playing with good energy and urgency.”
Haws shot 4 of 5 from beyond the arc and 10 of 11 from the free-throw line for his 38 points, the most he has scored in the Marriott Center as a Cougar. Eric Mika tied a career-high with 20 points to go along with eight rebounds, three assists and a career-high three steals. Kyle Collinsworth added 10 points, six rebounds and five assists, while Skyler Halford also contributed 10 points.
Nate Austin added seven points, eight rebounds and two blocks. Matt Carlino finished with three points, six assists and two steals with Josh Sharp grabbing seven rebounds off the bench.
The Cougars (14-9, 6-4 WCC) and Tigers (11-9, 2-7 WCC) traded baskets early to start with BYU leading 8-7 five minutes into the game. Haws got off to a hot start scoring 21 of BYU’s first 25 points to put the Cougars up 25-16 midway through the first half. During the hot start, Haws was 8 of 9 from the field, 2 of 2 from three and 3 of 3 from the free throw line. Halford’s first points came on a 3-pointer with 8:54 remaining in the half to put BYU up 28-19.
Pacific responded with an 8-1 run before Collinsworth answered with back-to-back buckets on a spin move down the baseline for a layup and a putback on the next possession to push BYU’s lead back to seven at 33-26 with six minutes left. After a Pacific jumper, Haws got a block, which led to another Halford 3-pointer for a 36-28 lead. Austin’s putback dunk extended the lead to nine, and Haws followed with his third 3-pointer to send BYU into the locker room with a 45-34 lead at the half.
Haws finished the half with 24 points and hit 3 of 3 from beyond the arc, with Halford contributing seven points. Austin also added six points and seven rebounds.
Mika completed a three-point play after a steal by Haws early in the second half to extend BYU's lead to 49-36. The Tigers answered with a 9-0 run to cut their deficit to four. Haws scored the next seven points for the Cougars to push BYU's lead back to nine at 56-47 with 14:50 remaining. Carlino’s first field goal came from beyond the arc and it was followed by a Collinsworth feed to Mika in traffic as the Cougars extended their lead to 63-47.
With 10:24 remaining, Mika completed another three-point play, which was followed by a Carlino steal and a behind-the-back pass to Haws for a layup to extend the lead to 70-56. Haws' layup gave him 33 points and 1,681 points for his career to pass Brandon Davies for 10th all-time in scoring in BYU history. Halford connected on another 3-pointer to cap a 7-0 run with Mika’s consecutive baskets giving BYU a 23-point lead with under five minutes left.
The Cougars outrebounded Pacific 35-24, with 17 being offensive rebounds, to lead to 22 second-chance points.
BYU stays at home to take on Saint Mary’s on Saturday at 9 p.m. MST. The game will be televised live on ESPN2 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 142 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 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 four 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 and 48 at Portland on 1/23/14. 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. |
| 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 and tied his career high with 11 against North Texas. |
| 6 | The number of career games for Tyler Haws shooting 100 percent from the free throw line with a minimum of 10 attempts, a BYU record.

| 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. |
| 35 | The number of consecutive games Tyler Haws has scored in double figures, a career-best streak and 8th-best in BYU history. |
| 42 | The number of 20-point games Haws has in his career at BYU, fifth all-time in program history. He had 25 20-point games in 2012-13, fourth all-time in a single season. |

| 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. |
| 222 | Dave Rose (2005 to present) is second all-time in BYU basketball history with 222 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. |
| 1,648 | The number of points Tyler Haws has scored in his career, good for 12th all-time and four from tying Ken Roberts for 11th. Haws holds the BYU record for most points scored during freshman and sophomore seasons combined. |
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 13.9 points, 8.2 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: 9th in scoring, tied for 2nd in rebounding, tied for 3rd in assists and 2nd in steals. He is also top 12 in four other categories: 2nd in FG percentage, tied for 1st 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 (T-6th), field goal percentage (4th), offensive rebounds (3rd), double-figure scoring games (T-8th) and consecutive games scoring in double figures (2nd).
