As the BYU Football team practices at LaVell Edwards Stadium during the program's annual Alumni Day, Jimmer Fredette joins the BYU Basketball coaching staff in Houston for a weekend of award presentations (Fredette) and assorted Final Four festivities and meetings (coaches).

It seemed like an appropriate time to put a statistical capper on some of the BYU hoopsters' accomplishments, as we get ready for the final week of spring football, leading up to the final practice/scrimmage one week from tomorrow.

So, here it goes...and keep in mind, I may certainly be overlooking some particular categories, in which case, feel free to Tweet me, Facebook me or e-mail me (gwrubell@ksl.com) with any contributions. I have intentionally omitted "attempts" categories, choosing instead to focus on the "made" listings.
