Double figures in season debut Audige ended Sunday's 67-61 win over Maryland with 14 points (7-17 FG, 0-4 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 27 minutes. Impact Audige was the leading scorer for Northwestern last season at 12.3 ppg but missed the first seven games of the 2021-22 season due to a hip injury. He immediately resumed his starting role upon gaining clearance and was one of three Wildcats in double figures. His 17 field-goal attempts was also a team high, representing an increase from the 11.5 he averaged last season. If Audige was left on the waiver wire by an impatient fantasy manager, he's arguably a must-add this week in any formats featuring the Big Ten, even if Northwestern doesn't have another game on the schedule until Dec. 12.
