PROVO — Forward Payton Dastrup continues to provide BYU with a big lift off the bench.
Dastrup scored a career-high 14 points, and made 5 of 5 shots from the field, in the Cougars’ 85-71 victory over Idaho State Thursday night at the Marriott Center.
The Bengals led 19-18 when Dastrup made an immediate impact midway through the first half.
Picking up where he left off during the Utah game, Dastrup drilled the Cougars’ first 3-pointer, then scored another bucket on a strong drive.
Moments later, he assisted on an Elijah Bryant 3-pointer and then recorded a resounding dunk as part of a 14-4 BYU run that put the Cougars ahead 32-23.
