If you missed Tuesday night in Provo, you missed a shootout. No. 23 BYU beat Queens 98-82 to move to 3-0, with Robert Wright III scoring 21 points and adding six assists.

Deseret News says BYU's 17 made threes fell two shy of the program's single-game record. Eight different Cougars hit 3-pointers, seven of them more than once, and BYU has now made exactly 46% of its threes in every game this season. Queens hit 14 of its own, so the teams combined for 31.

BYU students are helping match missing service members with living relatives

If you have a family member who never came home from war, BYU students may be able to help. They research cases sent by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency to find living relatives, who may then be asked for DNA reference samples. The students research family lines; they don't identify remains.

That's over nearly 10 years of research, mostly on World War II cases, with some from the Korean and Vietnam wars.

Suzanne Adams directs BYU's Center for Family History and Genealogy. KSL reports one man the program returned home was Marine A-6 pilot Jim Chipman, whose remains came back to his family in American Fork in 2023.

The Wrap

Having more bucks around sounds like good news for mule deer, but a BYU-led study found the opposite. Researchers used 15 years of productivity data and found that a higher ratio of male mule deer goes with weaker nutritional condition in females, which lowers population growth. Turns out more bucks isn't always better for the herd.
