Tristen Newton - Versatile despite inefficiency Newton supplied 16 points (6-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 62-48 win over Creighton. Impact Newton continued his recent trend of well-rounded production despite subpar offensive efficiency, as the fifth-year guard has posted 14.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.8 steals alongside a lowly 29.6 percent clip from the field over his last four games. That being said, his 2.27 assist-to-turnover ratio is a career best and his 18.1 percent defensive rebounding rate is a top-400 mark nationwide. Newton's lone blemish is that his off-the-dribble jumper is failing him, as he's connected on just 21.7 percent of 46 such shots this far.
