Massive performance out of nowhere Federiko notched 23 points (11-13 FG, 1-4 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and one block over 27 minutes during Monday's 86-50 win over Oral Roberts.

Impact Federiko exploded for a monster double-double during Texas Tech's big win Monday, converting on 11-of-13 from the field while adding five assists. It was the first time this season Federiko has reached double figures in either points or rebounds, the third double-double of his career and the first time in his career he's posted a 20/10 performance. The senior forward has started the last three games and while performances like Monday's aren't likely to happen often, he's a strong candidate to see increased production as long as he remains in the starting lineup.

Impact Federiko has yet to miss a game this season and it is unclear why he is sitting out during warmups. If the 6-foot-11 senior were to sit out Monday, the Red Raiders could be very thin at forward with Eemeli Yalaho (lower body) questionable for the contest.

Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Federiko tends to come off the bench, meaning he's not expected to deliver these numbers on a regular basis.
