Reasoning: The Cougars lead the nation in scoring and actually have better offensive stats away from home. They are 7-3 on the road and in those games they are averaging 83.4 ppg on 47.7% shooting. They hit on 38.3% of their threes and are 81.4% from the line. BYU has four players who average double figures in scoring. Tyler Haws (WCC-leading 22.3 ppg) became the program's all-time scoring leader in the last contest and Kyle Collinsworth (13.3 ppg, 8.6 rpg, 5.9 apg) has posted an NCAA-record five triple-doubles. Gonzaga's leading scorer, Kyle Wiltjer, had just five points in his last appearance. The Bulldogs are an average free-throw shooting team (69.9%), but they make five fewer foul shots per game than the Cougars. BYU makes more threes, collects more steals and should have the rebounding edge.
