Dawson Baker, BYU hot from deep in blowout of Queens (Charlotte)

Dawson Baker hit six 3-pointers and scored 22 points to help BYU cruise to a 99-55 win over visiting Queens University of Charlotte on Wednesday night in Provo, Utah.

The Cougars (3-0) jumped out to a 28-2 lead and went ahead by as many as 47 points.

The Royals (2-2) were playing for the second consecutive night on a long Western road trip.

Jaxon Pollard, who played at nearby Lone Peak High in Highland, Utah, and Maban Jabriel led Queens with nine points apiece. The new Division I team from North Carolina lost the previous night at Utah, 96-65.

Trevin Knell added 16 points with four 3-pointers for BYU, while Egor Demin scored 14 and Keba Keita notched his third straight game with double-digit rebounds with 13 to go along with 11 points.

BYU scored the first nine points, including consecutive layups by Knell, Demin and Richie Saunders. Knell made it 9-0 with the first of the Cougars’ 15 3-pointers.

Malcolm Wilson put Queens on the scoreboard with a dunk at the 17:29 mark. The visitors didn’t score again until Asjon Anderson hit a 3-pointer just over seven minutes later.

By that point, BYU had taken a 26-point lead after a dominating 19-0 run.

Queens missed 12 of its first 13 field goals and shot 34.5 percent for the game.

BYU connected on 40 of 78 shots (51.3 percent), including a 42.9 percent clip (15-35) from 3-point range. Baker hit 6 of 7 from beyond the arc, Knell went 4-for-7 outside, Demin made 2 of 4 from deep, and three other Cougars hit long balls.

The Cougars did, however, struggle from the free-throw line for the third game in a row, hitting just 50 percent (4-of-8).

The Cougars outrebounded the Royals 59-22, including 12 boards by Fouss Traore. That contributed to a 46-18 points-in-the-paint advantage for BYU, which had 22 second-chance points on 21 offensive rebounds.
