Monster effort in loss Carter supplied 25 points (11-22 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Saturday's 69-60 loss to Creighton. Impact Carter's scoring already makes him an solid fantasy asset, but his rebounding from the shooting guard position is what makes the junior guard elite. He now has back-to-back double-doubles and 37 total rebounds over his last four games, bringing his season average to a stellar 8.2 rpg. On top of that, Carter is posting career-best shooting percentages from the field (48.0) and from distance (39.1). While the Friars fell to 2-2 in Big East play with Saturday's loss, signature wins this season against Marquette and Wisconsin should keep them in the NCAA Tournament conversation.
