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.

BYU and Cincinnati meet Saturday afternoon in a rematch from a couple weeks ago. BYU won the January 25 meeting 80-52 behind a 52-point second half and 15-24 three-point shooting performance. Cincinnati has been the most disappointing Big 12 team to date.
