Joseph Tugler - First career double-double Tugler provided 13 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 26 minutes during Saturday's 87-57 victory over Kansas State.
Impact Tugler crashed the glass for a career-high 10 boards en route to collecting his first career double-double. The sophomore forward added two blocks, marking the eighth-consecutive game he's recorded multiple rejections. Tugler took over the starting role from Ja'Vier Francis eight games ago and has maintained his grip thanks in large part to his defense. As a starter, Tugler is playing 19.9 minutes per contest, averaging 6.4 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.8 blocks.

Ja'Vier Francis - Solid contribution off bench Francis totaled 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 FT), nine rebounds and one steal in 14 minutes during Saturday's 87-57 win over Kansas State.
Impact Francis collected season-high marks in points and rebounds, finishing one board shy of a double-double during Saturday's dominant win. The senior forward started every game last year for Houston and started during his first six appearances following missing the team's opening game, but has been relegated to the bench over the last eight after losing his starting role to Joseph Tugler. Francis will look to continue the momentum from this performance into his next game set for Wednesday at home against West Virginia.

L.J. Cryer - Available at Kansas State Cryer (illness) is available for Houston's game Saturday at Kansas State, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Impact Fortunately for Cryer, not even multiple days after Coogs.com announced the senior had been dealing with a stomach bug, he is fully healthy for Houston going into the team's game Saturday. Cryer is off to a slow start in the calendar year 2025, but having averaged 15.1 points in the 2024 part of his current season and consistent displays of double-digit scoring, he is expected to get back on track or improve his scoring somewhat as this year continues.

L.J. Cryer - Dealing with illness Head coach Kelvin Sampson revealed that Cryer (illness) has been dealing with a stomach bug and hasn't left his room for two days, per GoCoogs.com.
Impact Sampson's comments indicate that Cryer is questionable at best for Saturday's matchup against Kansas State while he recovers from his current ailment. The senior guard has yet to miss a contest for the Cougars this season while averaging 14.3 points per game. Should Cryer miss Saturday's contest, Mylik Wilson could be a candidate to step into an increased role.

Joseph Tugler - Filling role for Cougars Tugler chipped in three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal in 24 minutes during Monday's 65-46 victory over TCU.
Impact Tugler entered the starting lineup in favor of Ja'Vier Francis back on Dec. 7 and, perhaps coincidentally, the Cougars haven't lost a single game since. The sophomore forward's contributions have been modest, as Tugler is posting 5.4 points and 5.3 rebounds across 19.0 minutes per contest, but they're still superior to the player he replaced. While there hasn't been any indication the current alignment will change, Tugler's fantasy ceiling is still a bit limited, as he has the lowest offensive usage rate among starters.
JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE
J'Wan Roberts - Increasing production Roberts supplied 12 points (6-13 FG, 0-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 65-46 victory over TCU.
Impact Roberts provided a smattering of production across the board during Monday's win, including reaching double figures in scoring for just the second time in his last eight games. Roberts averaged just 7.7 points while seeing 26.7 minutes of action during non-conference play but through three conference games has played 30.0 minutes per game, averaging 12.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.0 blocks

Milos Uzan - Commanding the offense Uzan logged seven points (2-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Saturday's 86-55 win over BYU.
Impact Uzan struggled from the field, connecting on just two of nine shots, but added eight helpers and two steals during Saturday's win. The junior point guard has been a perfect fit during his first season with the Cougars thanks to his ball-handling skills in replacing All-American guard Jamal Shead. Uzan is averaging 8.9 points and 5.2 assists but more impressive has been his ball skills, committing one or fewer turnovers in each of his last six games while committing more than two turnovers just twice all season.
JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE
Mylik Wilson - Perfect from field Wilson notched 12 points (5-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt) and four rebounds across 17 minutes during Saturday's 86-55 win over BYU.
Impact Wilson was perfect from the floor, hitting all five of his shots while draining both attempts from beyond the arc in posting 12 points. The senior reserve dropped his highest point total since scoring 15 on opening night.
JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE
Terrance Arceneaux - Scores 15 off bench Arceneaux contributed 15 points (5-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two steals over 23 minutes during Saturday's 86-55 victory over BYU.
Impact Arceneaux connected on four of five from beyond the arc en route to 15 points during Houston's big win Saturday. Arceneaux added six boards and two thefts in contributing on both ends of the floor. The sophomore reserve wing did not score in his previous outing but has been a quality source of offensive production for the Cougars this season with Saturday marking the seventh time in 13 games he's scored more than 10 points.
JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE
Emanuel Sharp - Available vs. Cougars Sharp (foot) will be available for Houston's clash with BYU on Saturday, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Sharp has yet to miss a game this season, and that won't change Saturday afternoon. The guard reportedly suffered a foot injury that required him to don a walking boot, an ailment head coach Kelvin Sampson once indicated didn't look good. However, he's made a speedy recovery and should return to the court without limitation. Sharp averages 13.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 steals.

Emanuel Sharp - Suffers foot injury Sharp (foot) suffered a foot injury and has been wearing a walking boot, per Joseph Duarte of the Houston Chronicle.
Impact Head coach Kelvin Sampson indicated that the injury doesn't look good, adding that Sharp's foot is, "all black and blue and swollen up." The 6-foot-3 junior has yet to miss a game this season but will almost certainly be listed as questionable at best for Houston's upcoming game against BYU on Saturday. Sharp has been a star for the Cougars this season, averaging 13.7 points per game through 12 contests. Should he miss Saturday's contest, Terrance Arceneaux and Mylik Wilson will likely be in line for expanded roles.
JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE
J'Wan Roberts - Notches first double-double Roberts logged 20 points (9-13 FG, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 32 minutes during Monday's 60-47 victory over Oklahoma State.
Impact Roberts (foot) returned to the lineup following a one-game absence and exploded for a season-high 20 points while adding 11 boards to contribute his first double-double of the season. It was the first time Roberts reached double figures in scoring since Nov. 26, going five consecutive games without reaching the mark. If Houston is to repeat as the regular-season Big 12 champs, Roberts will be relied upon to play a major role.

J'Wan Roberts - Available at Oklahoma State Roberts (foot) is available for Houston's game Monday at Oklahoma State, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Impact Now, the question is whether or not Roberts enters Houston's starting lineup the team uses for its last game of 2024. He has been deemed a relatively ineffective scorer in December but has compensated for his shoody shooting by averaging 8.0 rebounds across the month.
