Men's College Basketball Top 10, Bubble Team NET Rankings: Michigan Remains No. 1

Dominykas Pleta - Inching closer to returning Pleta is dealing with a sprained ankle but should return in the near future, Eugene Rapay of The Journal News reports.

Impact Pleta is dealing with a sprained ankle and could be close to returning, according to head coach TJ Otzelberger, but he's not ready yet. "Hopefully at some point this week he's able to return to full practice and then reintegrate him into our lineup," he said. Pleta is averaging just 9.7 minutes off the bench per game, so even if he returns, his fantasy upside will be limited.

Tamin Lipsey - Dishes out seven, swipes five Lipsey finished with nine points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and five steals across 33 minutes during Sunday's 78-53 win over Eastern Illinois.

Impact Lipsey failed to reach double figures in scoring for the second time in three games but remained effective, dishing out seven dimes and swiping five on the defensive end as the Cyclones cruised to the easy win. The senior playmaker averaged 18.4 points prior to missing three games with a groin injury but hasn't been as effective in the scoring column since returning to the lineup. However, he continues to help out in other areas, recording five or more assists for the sixth time in eight games while compiling at least four steals for the fourth time.

Blake Buchanan - Tallies season-high 14 points Buchanan totaled 14 points (7-8 FG), six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 27 minutes during Sunday's 78-53 victory over Eastern Illinois.

Impact Buchanan was nearly perfect from the field, connecting on all but one of his eight FG attempts as Iowa State cruised to the one-sided victory. The 14 points were a season high for Buchanan, who's also been stepping it up defensively with eight rejections and four thefts across his last three games. The junior big man has been a solid addition to the Cyclones this season, starting all 11 games while averaging 9.1 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.5 blocks and 1.1 steals while shooting 70.3-percent across 24.7 minutes per contest.
