Overview
- BYU beat Omaha 108-67 Friday night in Provo to improve to 2-0 on the young season.
- Rob Wright III led the Cougars with 19 points and Tyler Betsey scored 18 points on six 3-pointers.
- Six BYU players finished in double figures and the team ran the floor, outscoring Omaha 31-0 in fast-break points and holding a 46-24 paint advantage.
- Deseret News reported BYU shot 56% overall and 46% from three, averaged 1.54 points per possession, and posted a 22-8 assist-to-turnover margin, with the bench adding about 25 points.
- Reporters cautioned the performance comes from a small sample and a low-rated KenPom opponent, but two early high-scoring games — including a 94-point win earlier in the week over Ohio State — suggest an emerging offensive identity to be tested soon.
