Role at risk Cupps closed Wednesday's 86-70 loss to Nebraska with five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists over 26 minutes. Impact Cupps moved to the bench after seven consecutive starts, as point guard Xavier Johnson made his return from a lower-body injury Wednesday. Johnson only played 15 minutes, however, so Cupps still had a meaningful role. Even over those seven starts, however, Cupps still only managed 3.6 ppg, so it's not as if the extra opportunity earned him a spot on the fantasy radar. Look for his role to continue to decrease as Johnson eases back into action.
