Newton's third career triple-double helps No. 5 UConn rout Manhattan 90-60
Tristen Newton recorded his third career triple -Friday and No. 5 UConn beat Manhattan 90-60 to win its 23rd consecutive nonconference gameNOVEMBER 24, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Donovan Clingan - Rounding into form Clingan notched 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and one block across 18 minutes during Friday's 90-60 win over Manhattan.
Impact It hasn't been the breakout many fantasy managers were expecting out of Clingan this season, as he battled a foot injury early on and is ceding more minutes than expected to backup center Samson Johnson (who actually logged more time on the floor than Clingan on Friday). Nonetheless, it's far too early for the "bust" tag, as Clingan has still started every game for the undefeated Huskies and posted more-than-respectable averages of 12.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.0 blocks. Look for UConn to rely more heavily on the big man as the level of competition rises, which is set to happen in a big way in December. The Huskies have Kansas, North Carolina and Gonzaga on the schedule next month before tipping off Big East play.

Tristen Newton - Records triple-double Friday Newton accumulated 15 points (4-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, 13 assists and two steals across 30 minutes during Friday's 90-60 win over Manhattan.
Impact Newton's all-around production makes him a triple-double threat each time he takes the court -- it's a feat he achieved twice last season in games against Buffalo and Marquette. He's an excellent rebounder despite seeing the majority of his minutes at point guard, as the fifth-year senior has pulled down and impressive 7.8 rpg through six games in 2023-24. Newton is also on pace for career highs in assists (6.8 apg) and shooting percentage (46.6), making him a sleeper Player of the Year candidate and arguably the best fantasy asset in the Big East.

Tristen Newton - Dishes eight assists Newton had eight points (3-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and one block in 38 minutes during Monday's 81-71 win over Texas. He also had three turnovers.
Impact Newton was impactful, but he could not maintain his momentum after dropping 23 points and 11 rebounds versus Indiana on Sunday. However, he set a season high in assists and currently possesses a boosted ceiling with Stephon Castle (knee) out for the rest of November.
NOVEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Stephon Castle - Targeting Dec. 1 return Castle (knee) is targeting his return for Connecticut's game at Kansas on Dec. 1, according to Adam Zagoria of NJ.com.
Impact Like Connecticut, Kansas is a top contender to win the 2024 NCAA Championship, so it should not be too surprising that Castle is targeting his return for when both teams begin their December schedule against each other. While he will sit out at least two more of the Huskies' games, they may be all Castle is absent for, a surprising but welcome development following the minor procedure of his injured knee.
