INDIVIDUAL NOTES...
• Injuries are starting to take a toll and the one to Guglielmo Caruso (lower right leg) has been the most impactful. He missed his 12th game (in the last 13) on Thursday.

Ezekiel Richards (ankle), who played in 10 games as a reserve, and Miguel Tomley (knee), who has not seen action, have been ruled out for the season. Juan Ducasse (ankle) and Giordan Williams (ankle) each missed two games, but were available against BYU.
• Josip Vrankic has hit double figures in scoring in nine of the last 11 games and averaged 16.8 points and 7.0 rebounds in that span.
• Jaden Bediako has taken over for Caruso in the starting lineup in 12 of the last 13 games. He has scored in double figures in four of the last five and averaged 10.0 points and 7.0 rebounds in that span.
• Over the last five games, Keshawn Justice has averaged 9.8 points on 47.4 percent shooting (18 of 28), including 56.5 percent on 3-pointers (13-for-23), and 4.2 rebounds.
