BYU hammered Cincinnati 80-52 a few weeks ago amidst UC's terrible offensive stretch to start league play. They just beat that full game mark in the second half against UCF (53 points) and are capturing some swagger entering another crucial game.

BYU junior Richie Saunders started just three games the previous two seasons but has since become a full-time starter and the Cougars' leading scorer. He scored 21 points against UC in Provo, making 5-of-7 from behind the arc. Overall, he's a 45% 3-point shooter. Defensively, he leads the Cougars in steals with 27.
