Nae'Qwan Tomlin - Logs 11 points in blowoutTomlin chipped in 11 points (4-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 24 minutes during Saturday's 64-50 victory over Florida.
ImpactTomlin scored in double figures for the 12th time in his 21 starts this season. However, he's only done so in two of the last seven games, as he's only converted 40.7 percent of his 8.4 field-goal tries per game over this span. Tomlin is still producing an average of 6.1 boards during this stretch of so-so scoring, making him one of Kansas State's more valuable fantasy options behind wing Keyontae Johnson and point guard Markquis Nowell.

Abayomi Iyiola - Five minutes off the bench SaturdayIyiola produced two points (1-1 FG) and two rebounds over five minutes during Saturday's 64-50 victory over Florida.
ImpactIyiola started each of the last eight games while starting center David N'Guessan dealt with a lingering foot issue. However, the senior returned to a role off the bench with N'Guessan back in the starting lineup Saturday. Iyiola averaged 17.4 minutes, 6.0 points and 4.5 rebounds while in the starting lineup, though his extremely limited usage against Florida indicates he'll revert to a fringe backup role moving forward.

Markquis Nowell - Just misses triple-doubleNowell recorded 13 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Saturday's 64-50 victory over Florida.
ImpactNowell nearly notched his first triple-double of the season thanks to his season-high nine rebounds versus the Gators. The 5-foot-8 point guard has averaged 16.9 points and 8.2 assists this season, netting him six double-doubles already. Nowell has also taken 11.7 field-goal tries per game over his 21 starts, so he should be expected to attempt more shots moving forward as well.

David N'Guessan - Plays 19 minutes in winN'Guessan had nine points (4-5 FG, 1-2 FT), one rebound and two steals in 19 minutes during Saturday's 64-50 victory over Florida.
ImpactN'Guessan returned to the Wildcats' starting lineup after sitting out all but one of the last eight games with a lingering foot injury. The 6-foot-9 junior averaged 26.5 minutes per game across his eight games prior to the injury, so it's likely the team didn't want to run him too hard during return to action in the blowout win. N'Guessan also averaged 8.9 points and 4.9 rebounds during that stretch, and he should be expected to deliver similar production when fully healthy moving forward.

Keyontae Johnson - Double-double against former squadJohnson contributed 13 points (5-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and two steals across 35 minutes during Saturday's 64-50 victory over Florida.
ImpactJohnson didn't deliver his best shooting performance in this emotion-filled matchup against his former team. Nevertheless, he still logged double-digit rebounds for the third consecutive contest, as the 6-foot-6 senior has now averaged 7.7 per game this season. Johnson's position as Kansas State's leading scorer (18.0) and rebounder will continue to make him one of the most coveted fantasy options in the Big 12.
