"When BYU landed the No. 1 high school prospect in the Class of 2025, it had just completed its second season as a member of the Big 12 -- a move that brought the program to a bigger stage. The addition of Dybantsa intensified the spotlight. In July, when the Cougars released their nonconference schedule, it was revealed that they would play on three NBA courts -- and Dybantsa rose to the occasion in all of those games."
"67 It got loud in arenas, and we mean loud because of one particular number: 67. The trend, which was popularized on TikTok, sent young students into a frenzy every time a team's points landed on 67. Young audiences pierced the ears of players, coaches and other spectators at LSU, Oklahoma State, West Virginia and Auburn games, just to name a few."
Conference play returns to college basketball as teams begin rivalry matchups following a nonconference slate that delivered notable moments.

Freshman Dybantsa produced standout performances on multiple NBA courts: 25 points and 6 rebounds at TD Garden, 18 points with 6 rebounds and 3 assists at the Delta Center, 22 points on the Jazz floor, and 28 points with 9 rebounds and 6 assists at Madison Square Garden. The TikTok-driven "67" trend sparked loud student celebrations whenever a team's score hit 67, affecting atmospheres at LSU, Oklahoma State, West Virginia and Auburn.
