The BYU Cougars have snapped their four-game losing streak with back-to-back wins over Big 12 opponents. However, as teams start preparing for March Madness, AJ Dybantsa & co. have been dealt a major injury blow.
The BYU Cougars will be without Richie Saunders for their game against the top-seeded Arizona Wildcats and beyond.
Senior guard Richie Saunders has revealed he has torn his ACL and will be out for the remainder of the season. Since Saunders is in his senior year and has played 25 times this season for the BYU Cougars, this marks the end of his college basketball career.
