A five-star No. 1 ranked recruit, the nation's top transfer point guard, a possible all-American averaging over 20 points a game and maybe the most athletic big man in the country, Cal Baptist was lucky to be playing on the same floor as No.

Dawson Baker, the sixth-year senior guard, announced Monday that MRI results showed a complete tear of the ACL, torn lateral meniscus, additional PCL and MCL damage.

AJ Dybantsa and Keba Keita each scored 22 points to lead No. 9 BYU to a 91-60 victory over California Baptist.
