Power Rankings: Alabama, Purdue are both on historic rolls
While the college basketball season has been marked by chaos, the Tide and Boilermakers just keep on winning.JANUARY 23, 2023
Caleb Lohner - Seven boards in tight win Lohner finished Saturday's 62-60 win over Oklahoma with seven rebounds and one steal over 15 minutes.
Impact Lohner matched his second-most rebounds in a game this season, and he's now averaged 4.5 rebounds in his 19 games off the bench in 2022-23. The 6-foot-8 junior is still averaging just 2.9 field-goal attempts per game, so his primary production will almost certainly continue to come on the boards for Baylor.

Dale Bonner - Lack of minutes Tuesday Bonner's lack of minutes in Tuesday's win was not an injury problem but more of a lineup situation Eric Kelly of KWKT Fox 44 reports.
Impact Baylor's coach Scott Drew told reporters that Bonner's lack of minutes was simply a lineup thing. Drew thought it was best to go with the lineup that was working Tuesday. Bonner continues to be healthy, and he is averaging 4.8 points and 3.5 assists so far this season.

LJ Cryer - Perfect from beyond the arc Cryer supplied 18 points (5-7 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 4-7 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 81-74 win over Texas Tech.
Impact Cryer posted his fourth double-digit scoring outing across his five appearances during Big 12 play. The 6-foot-1 junior has also been on a hot streak from deep, hitting all but one of his nine three-point tries across the past two games. Cryer now ranks third on the team in points per game (14.2) behind frontcourt-mates Keyonte George (17.7) and Adam Flagler (16.0). Cryer does lead this trio in field-goal percentage (46.9), and he narrowly sits third in field-goal attempts (10.8) behind George (13.3) and Flagler (11.8). However, he doesn't provide as much value on the boards (2.2) or as an offensive distributor (2.1 assists), making his fantasy value strictly contingent on scoring moving forward.

Adam Flagler - Poor shooting in comfortable win Flagler finished with nine points (4-14 FG, 1-8 3Pt), one rebound, five assists and three steals in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 81-74 win over Texas Tech.
Impact Flagler came short of double-digit points for the first time this season due to one of his worst shooting performances. The 6-foot-3 senior has otherwise been very reliable this season, hitting 44.7 percent of his 11.8 field-goal tries per game as well as a team-high 45.2 percent of his 6.5 three-pointers per contest. He also leads the Bears with 5.3 assists per game, which likely makes Flagler the most consistent option alongside frontcourt-mates, and fellow high-value fantasy players, Keyonte George and LJ Cryer.

Dale Bonner - DNP at Texas Tech Bonner did not play during the Bears' 81-74 win Tuesday at Texas Tech.
Impact An undisclosed problem prevented Bonner from participating in the Bears' latest game. Currently, their next matchup is at Oklahoma on Saturday.
JANUARY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Keyonte George - Posts another prolific performance George finished Tuesday's 81-74 victory over Texas Tech with 27 points (8-15 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 32 minutes.
Impact George logged at least 27 points for the third time in six Big 12 games, and he's now averaged 22.0 points while taking 14.3 field-goal tries per contest over this span. The 6-foot-4 freshman has taken on a prominent role since his first day with Baylor this season, as he's served as the lead focal point in this offense ahead of experienced guards Adam Flagler and LJ Cryer. George has now shot 36.2 percent on his 7.7 three-point tries per game over 18 starts. Expect him to continue putting up high point totals and consistent rebounding and assist numbers moving forward.

Jalen Bridges - Logs double-digit points again Bridges produced 12 points (5-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one block over 25 minutes during Saturday's 74-58 victory over Oklahoma State.
Impact Bridges logged at least 10 points for the third game in a row, also marking his fifth time doing so in the last seven contests. The 6-foot-7 junior has been the Bears' fourth scoring option, as he's averaged 6.8 field-goal tries and 2.4 free-throw attempts per game. Bridges does lead the team with 5.4 boards per game, though he is still one of five Baylor players to average more than four rebounds per contest. Bridges has averaged 29.6 minutes through the last five games versus conference opponents, so this increased playing time could help his production separate from reserve big men Caleb Lohner and Joshua Ojianwuna moving forward.
