BJ Freeman - Leads team with 19 pointsFreeman contributed 19 points (8-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 25 minutes during Saturday's 81-61 win over Colorado.
ImpactFreeman put up a season-high 19 points while converting on 66.7-percent of his 12 shot attempts during Saturday's comfortable win. The senior wing may have added more but was ejected following a flagrant-2 foul with just under nine minutes left to play. The senior transfer from UW Milwaukee averaged 21.1 points per game last season and while his production has dipped precipitously in his first season at Arizona State, he has led the team in scoring during each of their first two Big 12 conference games

Trevor Baskin - Explodes for career-best effortBaskin finished with 23 points (9-14 FG, 5-7 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and four steals across 29 minutes during Saturday's 81-61 loss to Arizona State.
ImpactBaskin had a career day, reaching season-best marks in minutes (29), points (23), shots made and attempted (9-for-14) and steals (4) en route to his second double-double of the season. The senior forward came off the bench after making a spot start in Colorado's last game, cleaning up around the rim in recording half of his 10 boards on the offensive end. In his first season with the Buffaloes, Baskin has been a key contributor, starting five of 13 games while averaging 9.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks across 22.3 minutes per contest.

Trevor Baskin - Sent to benchBaskin will come off the bench for Colorado with Adrej Jakimovski in the starting five, Pat Rooney of the Boulder Daily Camera reports.
ImpactBaskin started the previous game against Iowa State, and had made five total starts this season. Still, he'll be sent to the Buffaloes' bench in favor of Jakimovksi, who is set to make his return after missing the Iowa State game.

ImpactJakimovski is back from a long absence, as this will be his first appearance since Dec. 21. The forward, who's been a regular for Colorado this season, is averaging 11.2 points per game this season and should provide a huge boost for the Buffs on offense.

ImpactSanon was deemed a game-time call and didn't participate in pregame warmups, so it's no surprise that he's unavailable against the Buffaloes. Sanon's next chance to play will come on Jan. 8 against Kansas.
