Secures double-double in loss Omoruyi closed Saturday's 69-60 loss to Illinois with 14 points (5-12 FG, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds and two blocks in 24 minutes.

Impact Omoruyi has scored between 12 and 15 points in eight straight games, recording five double-doubles in that time. It's good that his scoring has held steady following a season-low four rebound performance during the Feb. 7 loss at Indiana, as Omoruyi and his teammates need to right the ship late in the season.

Impact Omoruyi hasn't had to play major minutes early in the season but is still close to averaging a double-double. If he can improve his percentages from the free throw line as he's made just two in five attempts, Omoruyi will be even better in his second season as a regular starter.

The Big Ten features plenty of skilled and experienced big men, making Omoruyi an under-the-radar fantasy option in 2022-23.
