CHUCK O'BANNON NEWS

Added to starting lineup O'Bannon is part of TCU's starting lineup Wednesday against Oklahoma, according to Neil Meyer of The Front Office News.

Impact This is quite a time for O'Bannon to log his first start of his 2023-24 season, as said opportunity coincides with TCU's team playing its first and possibly only game of the 2024 Big 12 Tournament. The big man's scoring has been on an upswing recently, as indicated by 11 points he scored during each of his last two games.

Dealing with illness O'Bannon left Saturday's game versus Texas after the first half due to an illness, Steven Johnson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Impact O'Bannon tried to suit up Saturday despite missing practice with an illness for much of the week, but he was ultimately unable to finish the contest. The senior guard is averaging 5.9 points and 2.9 rebounds in 14.3 minutes this season. O'Bannon has a week to return to full healthy prior to TCU's game next Saturday versus Iowa State.

Looks done for day O'Bannon isn't dressed out for the second half of Saturday's game against Texas, suggesting he's done for the day, Steven Johnson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Impact It's unclear what exactly caused O'Bannon's early exit, but it doesn't look like he'll make his way back into Saturday's game. He didn't record any stats prior to exiting the contest. The senior has a full week to rest up before the Horned Frogs return to action next Saturday against Iowa State.

Expected to be available Saturday O'Bannon (thumb) is expected to be available Saturday against Kansas, Jamie Plunkett of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact O'Bannon has missed TCU's last two games due to a thumb injury, but all signs suggest he should be available tomorrow. He's likely to remain on the same bench role that has seen him average 16.6 minutes, 7.3 points and 3.4 rebounds per game this season.

Held to seven points in loss O'Bannon totaled seven points (3-14 FG, 1-9 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one block over 25 minutes during Sunday's 84-81 loss to Gonzaga.

Impact O'Bannon's scoring production came back down after he logged double-digit points in each of the previous three contests. The sixth-year senior also struggled from beyond the arc while attempting a season-high nine three-pointers. O'Bannon finished the 2022-23 season averaging 7.7 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 35 games (31 starts). He now has no remaining collegiate eligibility.

Impact O'Bannon was part of the starting lineup TCU used on Feb. 25. Since then, he continued to log games started. During March so far, O'Bannon is averaging 10.7 points.

Gets starting nod O'Bannon is in the starting five for Saturday's game versus Texas Tech, Carlos Silva Jr. of the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reports.

Impact O'Bannon will make his 25th start of the season Saturday. He is averaging 4.2 points and 2.2 rebounds in 15.0 minutes in his last five appearances.

FEBRUARY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Logs 12 points off bench Saturday O'Bannon had 12 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 17 minutes during Saturday's 100-75 win over Oklahoma State.

Impact O'Bannon posted double-digit points for the first time since moving into a role off the bench during the Feb. 11 loss to Baylor. The 6-foot-6 senior has averaged 5.7 points and 2.7 rebounds while playing 17.7 minutes per game over the last three contests. He's also averaged 7.3 points and 3.3 rebounds across his 27 total appearances this season. Therefore, it's unlikely O'Bannon will net many significantly productive outings even if he does return to the starting lineup moving forward.

Moves to bench O'Bannon isn't in the starting five for Saturday's game versus Baylor.

Impact O'Bannon will come off the bench for the first time this season. The 6-foot-6 guard is averaging 7.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 22.3 minutes across 24 games.

FEBRUARY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

11 points in tight loss O'Bannon recorded 11 points (3-9 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two assists, two blocks and three steals across 30 minutes during Saturday's 79-73 loss to Oklahoma State.

Impact O'Bannon posted at least 11 points for the first time since the Dec. 6 win against Jacksonville State. The senior wing has not provided much at all in the way of scoring during this span, converting just 38.6 percent of his 5.5 field-goal tries per game. Instead, his most notable contributions have come on the defensive end where he's averaged 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks. However, O'Bannon could continue to see increased scoring opportunities so long as shooting guard Mike Miles (knee) and center Eddie Lampkin (ankle) both remain sidelined.

Short outing in blowout win O'Bannon finished with five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 18 minutes during Saturday's 83-60 victory over Kansas.

Impact O'Bannon continued to play an all-around modest role for the Horned Frogs. The 6-foot-6 senior has averaged 7.7 points for the season, but this has dropped a full three points over the past seven Big 12 games. O'Bannon's paltry 36.4 field-goal shooting percentage should continue to keep his scoring below double-digits per game.

Team-high seven rebounds O'Bannon posted 11 points (2-10 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 23 minutes during Monday's 73-72 victory over UAPB.

Impact O'Bannon struggled from the floor Monday, though he made up for this by making all but one of his seven free-throw attempts. The sixth-year forward also attempted seven three-pointers after averaging four attempts per game from beyond the arc last season. Across 34 games in 2021-22, O'Bannon also registered a career-high 9.5 points and 4.2 rebounds during 24.0 minutes per contest, and he should see these numbers increase while playing a full-time starting role during his final collegiate campaign.
