How BYU’s Unexpected Heroes Shattered No. 6 Iowa State’s Defense and Stole the Spotlight
AJ Dybantsa drew most of the headlines following BYU’s upset of No. 6 Iowa State on Saturday night, and understandably so.
The freshman phenom enjoyed arguably his finest performance to date, scoring 29 points with 10 rebounds, nine assists and outstanding defense.

However, some of BYU’s more unheralded players were just as crucial in securing Saturday’s much-needed, confidence-boosting signature victory.
With Richie Saunders out for the season, Dybantsa and Rob Wright III have and will continue to shoulder a much heavier load (each star played all 40 minutes against Iowa State), but against the Cyclones, for the first time in nearly a month, every BYU player (not including Saunders) combined to outscore Dybantsa and Wright.
