Baylor Scheierman - Alternating double streak continuesScheierman accumulated 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt), 10 rebounds, three assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Saturday's 85-62 victory over DePaul.

ImpactScheierman notched his third double-double in his past six games, averaging 17.5 points and 8.3 rebounds in 38.7 minutes per game over that span. Operating with a top-75 minute share in the nation is extremely conducive to fantasy success. Scheierman is showcasing an impressively versatile and well-rounded skillset in Year 2 of his Power 6 tenure, with an uptick in assist rate and free-throw rate joining his perennial scoring and rebounding prowess.

Francisco Farabello - Fading latelyFarabello ended with two points (1-1 FG), three rebounds and one assist across 17 minutes during Saturday's 85-62 win over DePaul.

ImpactFarabello is averaging 3.3 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists while shooting 53.8 from the field on just 2.2 shots in 19.7 minutes across his past six games. His efficiency has been fine, but Mason Miller has become the more trusted option in a strategically shallow rotation. Farabello failing to pop in a blowout victory against a porous DePaul defense stings.

Steven Ashworth - Coming to lifeAshworth supplied 17 points (5-9 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and three assists across 31 minutes during Saturday's 85-62 win over DePaul.

ImpactAshworth matched his season-high 17 points, and the senior is now averaging 13.5 points and 5.0 assists while connecting on 35.7 percent of 7.0 threes over his last four games. After posting 13 games with more than 18-plus points at Utah State last season, Ashworth's ceiling can be higher, but he has only attempted double-digit shots once across 21 starts for Creighton thus far.

Ryan Kalkbrenner - Crushes DePaulKalkbrenner closed Saturday's 85-62 win over DePaul with 22 points (7-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist over 28 minutes.

ImpactKalkbrenner wasn't flashy, but no player on DePaul exceeded six rebounds or 12 points, symbolizing Kalkbrenner's formidable interior presence. He has compiled at least nine rebounds in eight straight games, although Saturday marked his first game without a block since Nov. 23.

Elijah Fisher - Bounce-back effortFisher amassed 12 points (6-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Saturday's 85-62 loss to Creighton.

ImpactFisher was the only member of DePaul with double-digit scoring Saturday, bouncing back from a four-point effort to post at least 12 points for the third time in his past four games. He continues to be a non-factor from beyond the arc, however, posting 0-for-5 shooting from deep over that span.

Jalen Terry - Loses momentum SaturdayTerry registered nine points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 30 minutes during Saturday's 85-62 loss to Creighton.

ImpactTerry entered Saturday's contest having rained in 11 threes and around the 37 total points across his last two games. He returned his volatile ways, however, as he has only notched three double-digit scoring performance across seven games since returning to his normal rotation role. Chico Carter (ribs) is set for a multi-week absence, so Terry will be granted usage to potentially capitalize on.
