After ranking third nationally in scoring as a junior, BYU's Tyler Haws captured West Coast Conference Player of the Year honors...



Tyler Haws is the first BYU student-athlete selected as WCC Player of the Year in its three seasons in the conference and the first for the Cougars since 2011 National Player of the Year Jimmer Fredette captured Mountain West Conference accolades in 2010-11. Haws averaged 23.5 points per game, while shooting 48.0 percent from the field during league play. Haws turned in the highest scoring game since 1990 when he scored 48 in a triple overtime game at Portland and scored at least 20 points 18 times and enters the 2014 WCC Championship with 1,855 career points in 100 career games, good for 15th place on the league's career scoring chart.

It would have been a travesty had he NOT been the POY in the league.

I wonder how high on the WCC all-time scoring list he can go. He is currently #14. He has probably three or four more games this year. Let's say he scored 60 more points this season, finishing the year at 1,915.



Hank Gathers is the current leader at 2,490. So Tyler would need 576 points to break the record.



At his current scoring pace, he should set the all-time West Coast Conference scoring mark about 25 games into next season.
