Provo, UT – The BYU Cougars welcomed back a familiar face to the lineup as Egor Demin made his highly anticipated return to the court against Arizona State. Demin, who had been sidelined with a knee contusion, showed no signs of rust as he contributed seven assists and four points in the Cougars’ Big 12 opener.

Demin’s return was a significant boost to the Cougars, who had been struggling to find consistency in his absence. The 6-foot-5 guard’s presence on the court was evident from the opening tip, as he quickly got into a rhythm and began to dictate the pace of the game.

“Egor is a huge part of our team, and it’s great to have him back,” said BYU head coach Kevin Young. “He brings a level of energy and enthusiasm that’s contagious. His return is a big lift for us, and we’re excited to have him back on the court.”

Demin’s injury had been a significant setback for the Cougars, who had been relying heavily on his scoring and playmaking abilities. However, his return has injected new life into the team, and his teammates are thrilled to have him back.

“Egor is a leader on our team, and his presence on the court makes a big difference,” said BYU guard Richie Saunders. “He’s a great playmaker, and he always seems to make the right play. We’re excited to have him back, and we’re looking forward to seeing what he can do.”

Despite the Cougars’ loss to Arizona State, Demin’s return was a major positive takeaway from the game. His performance was a testament to his hard work and dedication during his rehabilitation, and it bodes well for the Cougars’ chances in the Big 12.

As the Cougars look to bounce back from their loss, Demin’s return will be a key factor in their success. With their star guard back on the court, the Cougars will be looking to make a statement in the Big 12 and prove themselves as a force to be reckoned with.

“Egor’s return is a big boost for us, and we’re excited to see what he can do,” said Coach Young. “We’re looking forward to getting back on the court and competing at a high level.”
