Fredette's 36 Paces BYU to Victory at Colorado State

Image

FORT COLLINS -- Jimmer Fredette scored 36 points and Noah Hartsock had 12 points and 12 rebounds as No. 14/16 BYU improved to 24-3 overall and 9-2 in the MWC with a 92-70 win at Colorado State on Wednesday.

Fredette shot 6-for-10 from three, 12-for-22 overall and 6-for-7 from the free throw line for his fifth game of 33 points or more this season. The junior guard also finished with six assists, five rebounds and one steal.

Hartsock's double-double is the first in the sophomore forward's career, adding two blocks and two assists. Hartsock's 12 rebounds and 6-for-6 shooting from the free throw line were both career highs.

"Right now is the most important part of your season because you set yourselves up to make these games really, really important," said BYU head coach Dave Rose. "It's getting your ninth conference win, that's the whole focus of your group. Now the most important thing is to get your 10th conference win. This team is very good at that."

BYU went on an 11-2 run midway through the second half, pulling ahead 76-53 with 8:25 to play. Fredette nailed a three, followed by a layup and two free throws from Jackson Emery.

Emery contributed 16 points on 6-for-10 shooting and four rebounds. Jonathan Tavernari rounded out the double-figure scoring with 12 points and four steals.

"I thought our zone was a lot more active, plus it caused them some problems," Rose said. "Noah was terrific as far as defensive rebounds were concerned, getting the ball out into transition."

BYU has beaten the Rams eight straight times while sweeping the last three season series.

BYU will next travel to Wyoming to play the Cowboys on Saturday at 4 p.m. MT. The game will be televised live on The Mtn.

Colorado State’s Last Outing — Rams escape Air Force for 51-47 win

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Andy Ogide tallied 12 points, and freshmen Dorian Green and Greg Smith each scored 10, helping CSU escape with a 51-47 victory at Air Force on Tuesday night. The Rams overcame a 29-21 hafltime deficit, closing the contest on a 12-4 run over the final 6:30. “In our prep, we talked about winning the paint and not turning the ball over, and at halftime we’re getting beat in both categories,” said Head Coach Tim Miles. “I credit the kids. They really came back and won with defense. We got stops, we got stops, we got stops, and even though we weren’t doing a lot on offense, we did enough.” Air Force built a halftime lead by outscoring the Rams 14-6 in the paint in the opening 20 minutes, and turning nine Rams’ turnovers into nine points. Colorado State responded, outscoring the Falcons 10-4 in the paint and allowing the Falcons only two more points off turnovers in the final 20 minutes. Those improvements helped the Rams stay within striking distance for much of the second half, as the Air Force lead never reached more than two possessions over the final 18 minutes of action. “We worked harder in the second half to loosen things up and attack the rim,” added Miles. But it was a Green three-pointer with 6:30 left to play that cut the CSU deficit to 43-42 and sparked a 12-4 Rams’ run to end the game, completing the second-half comeback and the regular-season sweep of the Falcons.The Rams, who missed both of their foul shots in the first half, hit 10-of-15 in the second half, led by a 5-for-6 performance from junior F Travis Franklin at the charity stripe. Green hit 4-of-5 attempts in the closing stanza, and Smith iced the game, hitting 1-of-2 with three seconds left on the clock to put the game out of reach. Smith turned in another stellar performance for the Rams, tallying nine rebounds to go along with his 10 points. Ogide and Green each finished with four rebounds, while junior G Adam Nigon pulled down seven rebounds to go along with his five points. The win marked the fourth consecutive regular-season victory over the Falcons for CSU, and gave the Rams a regular-season sweep over a second conference opponent (Wyoming) for the first time since the 1999-2000 season.
