MARCH 26, 2023 • USATODAY.COM

Scores 25 in loss Hoggard produced 25 points (7-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 10-11 FT), two rebounds, six assists and two blocks over 40 minutes during Thursday's 98-93 OT loss to Kansas State.

Impact Hoggard led both teams in scoring but a record-setting assist performance from Markquis Nowell sealed the deal in overtime. After averaging 16.1 points and 6.3 assists per game in the final eight contests of the season, Hoggard could be quite the star in the Big 10 as a high-scoring point guard.

Gets through foul trouble Hoggard chipped in 13 points (5-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Sunday's 69-60 win over Marquette.

Impact Hoggard has dealt with a bit of foul trouble in both NCAA Tournament games so far, limiting him to less than 30 minutes, as well as fewer than 10 field-goal attempts. The junior point guard still managed to reach double figures for his seventh consecutive game, however, and is averaging an impressive 14.9 points and 6.3 assists over that span. Simply put, the Spartans are a far superior unit when Hoggard is serving as the floor general, but he'll draw a tough defensive matchup against Markquis Nowell and the Wildcats in Thursday's Sweet 16 tilt.

Impact Hoggard closes out the regular season with his best four-game stretch, averaging 17.5 points and 8.3 assists per game. He should continue his steady improvement and be an integral player if he sticks around for his senior season.

Adds 20 points in win Hoggard amassed 20 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-9 FT), four rebounds, six assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Sunday's 77-61 loss to Purdue.

Impact Hoggard has a fairly balanced stat line but Sunday was just his third game all season scoring at least 20 points. There's certainly space for a dominant scorer to emerge for the Spartans if Hoggard makes a regular habit of this performance.

Impact Hoggard has scored in double-figures in two of his last four games while averaging a solid 8.3 assists per game in that time. As his scoring hasn't been so consistent into the new year, Hoggard's production in setting up his teammates can help to make up the difference.
