Ernest Udeh - Plays 17 minutes in big win Udeh ended Saturday's 78-55 victory over Oklahoma with eight points (4-4 FG, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals over 17 minutes.

Impact Udeh saw his most extensive playing time of the season during Saturday's blowout win. The 6-foot-11 freshman has now come off the bench in each of his 18 appearances this season, averaging 2.7 points and 2.2 rebounds across 8.3 minutes per contest. Expect Udeh to continue serving a limited ancillary role against Oklahoma State on Tuesday.

Zuby Ejiofor - Makes return Saturday Ejiofor (ankle) produced one rebound and one assist across two minutes during Saturday's 78-55 win over Oklahoma.

Impact Ejiofor played a very limited role in his return after missing three games with an ankle injury. Though he did not attempt a shot, Ejiofor managed to grab an offensive rebound in his limited time on the floor. Ejiofor has played in a very small role off the bench in his first collegiate season, averaging 5.6 minutes per game.

Cam Martin - Out of uniform pregame Martin (shoulder) was spotted in street clothes during the Jayhawks' second round of warmups before Saturday's game against Oklahoma, Jordan Guskey of The Topeka Capital-Journal re...

Impact Martin was initially in uniform and participating during Kansas' early warmups about one hour ahead of Saturday's 1:00 p.m. ET tipoff. However, he shed his uniform when the team re-emerged from the locker room for its final pregame activities. As a result, Martin will likely miss his 10th game in a row due to a shoulder injury. His next chance to return should come Tuesday at Oklahoma State.

Zuby Ejiofor - Active pregame Saturday Ejiofor (ankle) is warming up ahead of Saturday's game against Oklahoma, Michael Swain of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Ejiofor has missed the last three games while dealing with a foot injury sustained Jan. 30 versus Kentucky. In 19 appearances off the bench this season, the 6-foot-9 freshman has averaged 1.6 points and 1.9 rebounds while playing 5.6 minutes per game.

Jalen Wilson - Battles foul trouble in big win Wilson ended with two points (1-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 27 minutes during Monday's 88-80 victory over Texas.

Impact Wilson played fewer than 30 minutes for just the second time this season due to foul trouble early on in Monday's win. As a result, the nation's leading scorer was held to the worst scoring and shooting performances of the season, failing to finish with double-digit points for the first time all season. This didn't ultimately cost the Jayhawks thanks to strong scoring performances from freshman Gradey Dick (21), point guard Dajuan Harris (17) and wing Kevin McCullar (16). Wilson now sits at 20.7 points per game across 24 outings, and he'll look to recover from this paltry showing when Kansas faces 12-12 Oklahoma on Saturday.

Cam Martin - Sits out Monday Martin (shoulder) did not appear in Monday's matchup with Texas, Michael Swain of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Despite participating in pregame warmups, Martin was dressed in street clothes at tipoff, and was inactive for Monday's matchup with Texas. The 6-foot-9 senior, who has missed the last 10 games with a shoulder injury, will have his next opportunity to return on Saturday against Oklahoma.

Bobby Pettiford - Could be out a while Pettiford (hamstring) could be out a while, according to Jordan Guskey of The Topeka Capital-Journal.

Impact Kansas head coach Bill Self said he thinks Pettiford will be out for a while. If so, Joseph Yesufu is expected to see a few more minutes as the backup to primary point guard Dajuan Harris, as well as at shooting guard.

Gradey Dick - Wilson output not a problem Dick logged 21 points (7-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, two steals and one assist across 35 minutes during the Jayhawks' 88-80 win Monday versus Texas.

Impact Jalen Wilson was expected to be the Jayhawks' best scorer against Texas after he logged a 26.5-point average across their previous six games. He made only one field goal, recorded three turnovers and committed four fouls instead. Dick stepped up to help the Jayhawks win though. He was their best scorer Monday, when No. 5 Texas improved from 10.

Zuby Ejiofor - Not spotted warming up Ejiofor (ankle) wasn't seen warming up ahead of Kansas' top-10 clash with Texas, Michael Swain of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Ejiofor was reportedly expected to be out possibly until mid-February, so it's not exactly surprising that the freshman wasn't seen warming up. Still, it's worth monitoring his progress as he rehabs an ankle injury that's kept him sidelined since he got hurt against Kentucky. Should Ejiofor make a quicker recovery than expected, his next chance to play will come against Oklahoma on Saturday.

MJ Rice - Plays four minutes Rice (back) finished Saturday's 68-53 loss to Iowa State with one rebound over four minutes.

Impact Fortunately for Rice, he did not have to log multiple absences because of his previous injury. However, he is not expected to play much even while the Jayhawks have more than five of their players out injured at the moment. Rice averaged 4.0 minutes across his four games in between Jan. 20 and Feb. 5.

Gradey Dick - Dreadful outing in loss Dick posted seven points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one rebound over 30 minutes during Saturday's 68-53 loss to Iowa State.

Impact Dick was held to his season low for points in this standout defensive performance for Iowa State. The freshman sharpshooter also committed five of the Jayhawks' 20 turnovers against the Cyclones, who rank first in the nation for opponent turnover percentage at 23.6 percent. Dick will look to recover from this sloppy performance when the Jayhawks welcome the Longhorns to Manhattan on Monday night.

Kevin McCullar - Stymied in loss McCullar had two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 23 minutes during Saturday's 68-53 loss to Iowa State.

Impact McCullar's streak of double-doubles came to an end against this stout Iowa State squad, as the senior forward took his second-fewest field-goal attempts of any game this season. However, he still maintained his consistent production on the defensive glass, as he's now averaged 12.0 rebounds over the last four contests. McCullar will look to bounce back from this poor shooting performance Monday versus Texas.
