BYU Record in Overtime Games: N/A With the experience of all five starters returning and having already gotten some big performances from Longest BYU Win Streak: 4 (1976-95) other talented newcomers, the departures have not made a significant impact. Two newcomers, junior JC Longest Boise State Win Streak: 2 (1996-97) transfer guard Jermaine Blackburn (6-6, 209), and redshirt freshman guard Coby Karl (6-5, 194) lead the Largest BYU Margin of Victory: 16, 83-67 in 2000 Broncos in scoring after three games with 20.0 and 17.0 points per game averages, respectively. Karl has Largest Boise State Margin of Victory: 16, 83-67 one start, taking the place of Defares during his one-game suspension, but otherwise both newcomers are in1997 doing their damage off the bench. Senior forward Aaron Haynes (6-7, 177), the team’s top returning scorer Most Points Scored by BYU: 86 in 1995 from last season at 14.7 ppg and a preseason All-MWC selection, is adding 13.0 points while true freshman Most Points Scored by Boise State: 83 in 1997 guard Eric Lane (6-1, 173) adds more instant offense off the bench with 9.3 points in 15.7 minutes per game. Like last season, junior forward Jason Ellis (6-7, 216) is leading the way on the boards with 7.7 rebounds per game followed by Karl’s 6.3 average and 5.3 rpg from Haynes.
