BYU desperately needed a signature win for morale and the resume, and the Cougs delivered Saturday night in a 79-69 home win #6 Iowa State in Provo. The committee released its top 16 seeds earlier in the day, and Iowa State was the fourth #1 seed.

AJ’s defense was also impressive, chasing Iowa State sharpshooter Milan Momcilovic off screens all night and contributing to a 1-4 three-point shooting night for the best shooter in the country.
