Fast start for Tyler Haws
Tyler Haws is off to one of the best starts to a season in the history of BYU basketball. He is one of only five BYU basketball players to open a season with at least four-straight 20-point games, having scored 22, 22, 23 and 21 points in the team’s first four contests, respectively. What makes Haws’s start even more impressive is that he’s the only sophomore on the list and he returned in April from a two-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Philippines. See the chart below for the best streaks of consecutive 20-point games to start a season.
Name | Class | Season | Consecutive 20-Point Games (point totals) |
---|---|---|---|
Devin Durrant | Senior | 1983-84 | 7 (28, 35, 20, 35, 23, 33, 27) |
Danny Ainge | Senior | 1980-81 | 5 (24, 22, 22, 29, 29) |
Kresimir Cosic | Junior | 1971-72 | 5 (30, 31, 33, 23, 30) |
Michael Smith | Senior | 1988-89 | 5 (24, 29, 30, 33, 20) |
Tyler Haws | Sophomore | 2012-13 | 4 (22, 22, 23, 21) |
Davies does it all
Brandon Davies stuffed the stat sheet in the opener against Tennessee State, tallying 16 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 blocks and 2 steals while drawing 3 charges. He did it again vs. Georgia State with 28 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals. Through four games he is averaging 18.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.3 blocks and 1.0 steals. Last season he became the second Cougar in history to average at least one of everything (points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks). Russell Larson is the only other BYU player to produce a ‘one of everything’ season and did so twice, in 1993-94 and 1994-95 (blocks and steals were not tracked until the 1977-78 season).
