Quiet on offensive, big on D Sharp had two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and four blocks over 39 minutes during Saturday's 74-73 loss to Louisiana Tech.

Impact Sharp had been dealing with an ankle injury, but given the long break between games, he was able to resume his typical starting role. Saturday's stat line was the perfect encapsulation of the 7-5 center's role, as Sharp is leaned on more for his defensive prowess than his ability to put the ball in the basket. Even without scoring, his nation-leading 4.9 rejections per contest still make him a valuable asset in formats that value this category and include C-USA teams.

Logs unique triple-double Sharp drew the start and logged 10 points (5-5 FG, 0-1 FT), 12 rebounds and 10 blocks in Wednesday's 88-62 victory over Alabama A&M.

Impact It was a career day for the 7-foot-5 center, as Sharp made his first start of the season in place of an injured Jaylen Butz (knee). He had been getting steady run as a reserve even with Butz in the mix, but the DePaul tranfer's absence set the stage for the former JUCO player to have a milestone day. Sharp was once thought to contend with Butz for the starting job in the first place, so it's not as if this performance is coming out of nowhere. He could be in for more high-usage games should Butz be forced to miss any additional time.
