As BIU looks to beat Colorado, Richie Saunders' injury is huge
Rob Wright had a career high for the second straight game as BYU beat Colorado in overtime 90-86 on Saturday afternoon.
The big thing about the game is that Richie Sanders left the game in the first minute with an untouched knee injury.Richie's wife and parents joined him in the locker room, and Richie did not return to the bench.The forecast looks bad.
Rob Wright was the star for BYU, matching his career high with 39 points in one game after scoring 30 at Baylor.Rob did a nice job shooting 12-16 from the field and 11-13 from the foul line.AJ DiBanza shot just 6-20 and had 7 turnovers, but AJ finished with 20, 13 rebounds and 8 assists.
Alexsej Kostic hit two 3-pointers off the bench, including a big one in overtime, to put BYU ahead 85-82.BYU is 11-22 from 3-point range while the Buffs are 9-32 (28%) from 3-point range.Colorado won the turnover battle 16-7, which was a big factor in keeping them in the game.
Things get even tougher next week as BYU travels to No. 1 Arizona State on Wednesday and takes on No. 5 Iowa State next Saturday.
