PROVO — No doubt, BYU junior forward Yoeli Childs is on a roll. And the country is taking notice.
Childs is the reigning West Coast Conference Player of the Week and the NCAA March Madness’ National Player of the Week. He currently ranks No. 16 in the country in scoring (23.6 ppg), No. 5 in rebounding (11.4 rpg) and No. 3 in double-doubles (seven). He’s scored 31 points in three consecutive games.
Childs’ memorable hammer dunk in last Saturday’s 74-59 win against Utah has been all over social media, and it made SportsCenter’s Top Plays. He’s scored exactly 31 points in each of the past three games.
