Kerr Kriisa - Seven assists in win Kriisa posted seven points (3-12 FG, 1-8 3Pt), two rebounds, seven assists, one block and four steals over 29 minutes during Sunday's 80-62 win over Michigan.
Impact The redshirt freshman had another poor shooting night, only connecting on 1-of-8 threes but clearly has the green light with 8.4 attempts from long-range per game this season. He helped make up for it by facilitating the offense to the tune of a team-high seven assists. Kriisa has looked much better to start the season and the point guard has done a good job of taking care of the ball with only four turnovers through five games.

The 7-1 center also contributed on the defensive end with a team-high four blocks while also helping to slow down Michigan's Hunter Dickinson to only 11 points. Koloko has been vastly improved in his redshirt sophomore season, leading the team in points, rebounds and blocks through five games.

Impact Tubelis was one of four Arizona starters in double figures, although he didn't have his most efficient shooting night in missing both his long-range attempts and struggling from the line. He did come up with a big 3-point play to give Arizona the lead late in regulation and also contributed three blocks on the defensive end. The big man is connecting on 62 percent of his field goals this season.

Bennedict Mathurin - Efficient in win Mathurin posted 15 points (5-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and four assists in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 97-45 victory over North Dakota St.
Impact Mathurin continues to play better as each game goes on, draining three shots from long-range while coming up just two boards shy of a double-double. He only logged 26 minutes due the game being out of hand and figures to see more time as the schedule ramps up. Mathurin has seen a significant role in the offense thus far behind star post-player Azuolas Tubelis.

Impact Terry started 14 times for the Wildcats last season but came off the bench for the final seven games.

Christian Koloko - Double-double in exhibition Koloko posted 14 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist in 16 minutes during Monday's 96-50 exhibition win over Eastern New Mexico.
Impact Koloko was able to post a double-double in only 16 minutes of action, impeding his will over the Division-II program. He figures to factor in similarly to last year as a role player, likely to see no more than 25 minutes with his 7-1, 230-pound frame. Koloko has one career double-double in regular season action during his two seasons at Arizona.
