It's official: Collin Chandler is transferring home to BYU from Kentucky. As if Cougar fans need any more reasons to be excited about the talented guard's upcoming arrival in Provo, check out his five best games from his two years with the Wildcats.
No. 5 - Nicholls State, November 2025
Stat line: 15 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, 1 block; 5-8 FG, 4-7 3PT
Okay, Nicholls State isn't a marquee opponent, but this game has to go in Collin Chandler's Top 5 for two reasons. The first reason is, yes, it was a good game. It only took him eight field goal attempts to drop 15 points, including a sweet 4-of-7 from the 3-point line. But what's most important about this game was the monster dunk he threw down that lit the internett on fire. Yes, he's a good player and great 3-point shooter, but he's also an incredible athlete.

No. 4 - Florida, February 2026
Stat line: 18 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals; 6-10 FG, 5-7 3PT
This is the first of three 18-point games from Collin Chandler we'll be highlighting here, and the scoring output tied for the second most in his two years at Kentucky. Against the Gators he showed off his well-rounded game and his elite 3-point shooting. It took him just 10 shots to score 18 points, and that's going to happen when he shoots 5-of-7 from downtown. His three steals against Florida tied his career high.
No. 3 - Georgia, February 2026
Stat line: 18 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal; 6-11 FG, 6-10 3PT
The Wildcats fell to the Bulldogs in this SEC tilt, but don't blame Collin Chandler. The 3-point sniper put up 11 field goal attempts and 10 of them came from downtown en route to his efficient 18 point outing. His six 3-pointers tied his career high and demonstrates how hot he can get when he's dialed in from deep.
No. 2 - Vanderbilt, February 2026
Stat line: 23 points, 0 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal; 7-10 FG, 6-8 3PT
The 23 points Chandler dropped against SEC foe Vanderbilt is his career high. Sure, his other stats from this game leave a lot to be desired, but check out his shooting! He went 7-of-10 from the field, but of most interest to BYU fans he lit the nets on fire from downtown going 6-of-8 from the 3-point line. The Cougars need high-volume, high-accuracy shooting from deep, and Chandler's incredible performance against Vanderbilt shows the type of potential he has.
No. 1 - Texas, January 2026
Stat line: 18 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals; 5-9 FG, 2-4 3PT, 6-6 FT
Collin had a great game earlier this year in helping propel Kentucky to an SEC win over Texas, a team that ultimately made it to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament. Chandler's 18 points tied for the second highest in his career at Kentucky while his seven boards tied his career high. He was uber efficient with 18 points on just 5-of-9 field goal attempts, scoring from two, from three, and from the free throw line. This game highlights Chandler's versatility and should have Cougar fans drooling in anticipation of what could be a breakout junior season in Provo.
