Cyphers Coming Along in First Season
Guard Jordan Cyphers played a career-high 19 minutes in the blowout of Air Force the other night, scoring eight points with a pair of rebounds to draw praise from coach Jim Boylen for his development in his freshman season.
"He has practiced for about two weeks as good as anybody on my team," Boylen said. "And that's what I've been looking for. Practice not only gives a player confidence, but gives coaches confidence in the player -- especially when you're a new guy learning a system."
Cyphers has played 109 minutes in 15 games so far this season, averaging 3.8 points per game. He's shooting 32.3 percent from three-point range, too, which is pretty encouraging for a freshman adjusting to the longer three-point shot in college.
