BYU, Egor Demin plan to stay 'aggressive' against Cincinnati

BYU wants to keep an aggressive mentality and search for a better result at Cincinnati in a Big 12 showdown on Saturday night. The Cougars (15-7, 6-5 Big 12) had their four-game winning streak snapped when they lost 85-74 against No. 20 Arizona on Wednesday. The Bearcats (13-9, 3-8) ended a four-game skid with a 93-83 win at UCF on Wednesday. Egor Demin led BYU with 16 points on 7-of-20 shooting. He's the Cougars' second-leading scorer at 11.0 points per game, behind Richie Saunders (15.1). Demin is a projected lottery pick in many mock drafts, and BYU coach Kevin Young wants the freshman from Russia to continue to attack on offense.
