Filling in for Ike Thompson closed Monday's 102-69 victory over Colorado Christian with 15 points (5-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, one block and one steal across 27 minutes. Impact With presumed starter Graham Ike on the sidelines for the next 6-to-8 weeks due to a right foot injury, Thompson got the call in the starting five and produced admirably against a DII opponent. Freshman center Nate Barnhart also sat out the contest due to an undisclosed issue, so the Cowboys are currently a bit stressed for depth at the five. That could lead to fantasy relevance for Thompson in formats that include the Mountain West, at least until Ike eventually returns.
