So your name is Tyler Haws, and you just happened to score 65 points in a pair of basketball games last week, 35 against rival Utah State and 30 against Hawaii.

Then you flip on your computer Monday afternoon, only to learn that a teammate is the West Coast Conference Player of the Week.

Of course, it is hard to argue against what Kyle Collinsworth did. The junior from Provo High is this week's WCC honoree, after his triple-double against Hawaii and his stellar free-throw shooting performance against Utah State.

Big Russia averaged 19.5 points, 11.0 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 1.5 blocks and 2.0 steals last week.

BYU's Swiss Army Knife was 10 for 10 from the free throw line against USU, and is shooting 75 percent from the free-throw line, after entering the season with a 57 percent career average from the charity stripe.

"I love the way he plays," BYU coach Dave Rose said of Collinsworth. "He gets more and more confidence. I like him with the ball in his hands, driving in the lane, making really good decisions and being able to finish. What I think is really impressive is his ability to rebound from that position. Today, he got a lot of minutes when he was kind of forced down on that baseline, because we played three guards or four guards with just one big guy in there.

He was responsible for a lot of those weak side rebounds, and he got a lot of them. It was a good game. I am happy for him."

Teams cannot nominate more than one player, so Haws wasn't nominated. In addition to averaging 32.5 points, he averaged 6.5 rebounds per game and shot 53 percent from the field and 96 percent from the free-throw line.

Haws is the third-leading scorer in the country with a 24.4 average, and has scored more points, 210, than anyone in the country.

The Cougars continue to lead the country in scoring, averaging 94.5 points per game.

In other college basketball news, Utah is now ranked No. 13 in the AP Top 25 and No. 14 in the USA Today Coaches Poll, just in time for the Utes to visit BYU on Wednesday at the Marriott Center (7 p.m., ESPNU). The Cougars haven't defeated a Top 15 team at home since the famous 71-58 win over No. 4 San Diego State in 2011 in which Jimmer Fredette scored 43 points.

"I mean, they are good [games] every year," Collinsworth said. "Whether we are good or they are, or they are not, it doesn't matter, it is a rivalry game. It is going to be a good game no matter what. We just have to bring it."

Coach Dave Rose was asked after Saturday's win over Hawaii about BYU's potential this year.

"I really believe that it will kind of be up to our frontline guys, and see how they develop. I know that they continue to get better. We have had a run of games, three in a row, when it has been hard to play those guys, because Eastern Kentucky was a four-guard front, this group here was a four-guard team. Utah State was a little bit different for us because they didn't have a true low-post scorer.

So when we get rolling here next week, I think that hopefully the next four or five games we will have a real opportunity for our front line to improve.

I really believe that this team will be as good as those guys develop."
