Co-leads with 17 points Cone contributed 17 points (5-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 35 minutes during Thursday's 77-75 loss to Washington.

Electric in win Cone closed Saturday's 84-69 victory over Santa Clara with 26 points (8-11 FG, 7-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals over 35 minutes.

Impact Cone is launching 9.9 threes per game this season, but he entered Saturday's contest in a 7-for-37 slump from deep over his last four games. Although the Northern Arizona transfer can be streaky, logging a staggering 93.2 percent of California's minutes helps offset his volatility. His 26 points Saturday marked a season high.

High-volume scoring with Lumberjacks Cone posted 29 points (10-21 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Monday's 82-80 loss to Texas-Rio Grande Valley.

Impact Cone was likely expecting to see more volume upon his transfer from Virginia Tech to Northern Arizona, and so far he's gotten just that. Through six games, he's averaging 17.0 points across 33.7 minutes while leading the team in usage rate. The scoring average even has room to grow, as Cone is currently shooting just 30 percent from beyond the arc -- a mark that would represent a career low.

Impact Cone had been given a starting opportunity in early-February, but suffered an ankle injury Feb. 6 and hasn't seen game action since (the team also had a two-plus week pause due to COVID-19 protocol). Virginia Tech is 1-1 since returning from that hiatus and has a pair of regular season games against Louisville (March 3) and North Carolina State (March 6) remaining. Cone and the Hokies are presumed to be safely in the NCAA Tournament field, so there's little reason to rush back the sophomore early. The team also got a recent boost with the return of Tyrece Radford (11.4 ppg) from suspension, but Cone's 9.2 ppg scoring average will certainly be welcome in postseason play.

Not playing Saturday Cone (ankle) won't play Saturday against Wake Forest, according to Chris Arvin of 247Sports.com.

Impact Cone is dealing with an ankle problem and has been ruled out for this game, meaning Hunter Cattoor is likely to take his place in the starting lineup.

Sidelined indefinitely In a reversal of fortune, Cone (ankle) will actually sit out Tuesday and is now sidelined indefinitely, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact An earlier report from Rothstein indicated that Cone would actually retake the floor Tuesday, but it appears the news has gone in the opposite direction and he is now set to miss extended time. The sophomore guard had emerged into a starting role for the Hokies prior to the injury, getting a look with the unit in the four games prior to the injury. Without him available, Hunter Cattoor seems the logical option to join the starting five.
