PROVO, Utah – Anson Winder scored a game-high 17 points to lead the BYU men’s basketball team over No. 25/22 Gonzaga in the Marriott Center on Thursday.

"It was a hard-fought, aggressive game with both teams attacking," BYU basketball coach Dave Rose said. "There were times when you could really tell that the players on both teams really wanted to win. Those are fun games to be involved with as a coach. You see guys putting it all out there for the team."

Winder went a perfect 10 of 10 from the free-throw line to go along with three rebounds in his first start since Nov. 16, 2013, against Colorado Mesa, while Eric Mika came off the bench to finish with 13 points, eight rebounds and a block.

Highlights and Interviews

Matt Carlino came up big with 15 points, six assists, four rebounds and three steals off the bench. Tyler Haws contributed 12 points, five rebounds and three steals with Kyle Collinsworth adding eight points, five rebounds and five assists.

The Cougars (19-10, 11-5 WCC) got off to a 7-3 start, fueled by five points from Winder. Nate Austin registered a block that led to a Winder layup in transition and that was followed by a Winder 3-pointer at the 18:29 mark. Gonzaga (23-5, 13-2 WCC) took a two-point lead at 13-11, but Carlino answered with a 3-pointer with 14:14 to play to help the Cougars regain the lead. With the game tied at 15, BYU went on a 6-0 run with two buckets by Skyler Halford and a jumper by Haws.

Carlino connected on another 3-pointer, which was followed by a Mika layup for a 10-point lead (28-18) with 8:19 left in the first half. Josh Sharp recorded a block at the 7:10 mark that led to a Collinsworth baseline spin to the basket for a layup and a 30-21 lead. After the Bulldogs took a three-point lead with a 13-2 run, Haws connected from beyond the arc at the halftime buzzer to tie the score at 39-39.

BYU opened the half on a 6-0 run to push the lead 45-39 with 16:46 remaining. Winder’s layup and trip to the charity stripe kept BYU’s lead at six after Gonzaga had cut it to two. After Gonzaga again cut into the lead, Carlino followed up with a backdoor pass to Luke Worthington for his first points of the game and a five-point lead.

Gonzaga brought it back within two until Mika answered with a layup, and Carlino grabbed a steal for another score on the fastbreak with 7:43 left in the game. With 2:44 remaining, Carlino’s jumper at the end of the shot clock gave BYU its first field goal in more than four minutes and a 66-60 lead.

At the 2:19 mark, Gonzaga turned it over to give BYU possession, which led to a Carlino layup and an eight-point lead. With under one minute left, Carlino and Winder’s trips to the free-throw line sealed the game for the 73-65 victory.

BYU held the Bulldogs to a 33.3 shooting percentage in the second half and outrebounded them 41-32. The last time BYU beat Gonzaga was by an 83-73 tally at home on Feb. 2, 2012.

The Cougars stay home to host Portland for their final conference home game on Saturday 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 150 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 (69th in assists, 98th in rebounding), UCLA’s Kyle Anderson (6th in assists, T-49th in rebounding), Saint Joseph’s Halil Kanacevic (94th in assists and 53rd in rebounding) and Vermont’s Brian Voelkel (T-20th in assists and T-75th in rebounding). Rankings as of 2/17/14.
4.7	Matt Carlino’s career assist average, second 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.
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. 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.
41	The number of consecutive games Tyler Haws has scored in double figures, a career-best streak and the 7th-best in BYU history.
46	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. He has 17 this season, tied for 11th most in BYU history.
46	Matt Carlino became the 46th BYU player to score 1,000 career points when he reached the milestone against Santa Clara on Jan. 19, 2014, his 81st career game. He currently has 1,097 career points and is 1 from tying Mark Handy for 40th all-time.
88.4	Tyler Haws’ career free-throw percentage, first all-time in BYU history. He has hit 479 of 542 from the line in his career.
90.0	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.
227	Dave Rose (2005 to present) is second all-time in BYU basketball history with 227 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. Rose and Watts are the only BYU coaches to coach at least 300 career games.
1,803	The number of points Tyler Haws has scored in his career, good for 8th all-time and 21 from tying Jeff Chatman for 7th. 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 14.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.7 steals per game. He is proving to be one of the most versatile players in the WCC, especially in league games. Through 15 WCC games (as of 2/16/14), he ranks in the top 11 in the four of the five major statistical categories: 11th in scoring, 5th in rebounding, 4th in assists and 1st in steals. He is also top 13 in five other categories: 5th in FG percentage, 13th in assist/turnover ratio, tied for 3rd in offensive rebounds, 10th in defensive rebounds and 7th in minutes played.

We talkin’ about a half, not a (full) game, not a (full) game, not a (full) game. We talkin’ about a half!

In 2002, NBA star Allen Iverson didn’t want to talk about practice. With BYU’s leading scorer Tyler Haws, we don’t want to talk about a full game, but just a half. In his career, Haws has scored 20 or more in a half nine times, including seven this season.

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 (8th), rebounding (6th), field goal percentage (2nd), offensive rebounds (2nd), double-figure scoring games (T-5th) and consecutive games scoring in double figures (2nd).
