Sills should continue to contribute on the boards and as a facilitator in Kansas State's common small-ball lineups this season.

Keyontae Johnson - Another double-digit scoring effort Johnson amassed 14 points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 30 minutes during Monday's 77-57 victory over Rhode Island.

Johnson has been Kansas State's leading scorer (15.5) so far this season, converting 51.2 percent of his 10.3 field-goal attempts and 43.8 percent of his four three-point tries over four starts, and he should continue this prolific start Tuesday night against Nevada.

While N'Guessan's stat line did fall short of JUCO transfer Nae'Quan Tomin (15-6-1-5), he played wound up playing 10 fewer minutes than his frontcourt running mate. N'Guessan could continue to see limited playing time behind Tomlin and team-leading scorer Keyontae Johnson.

Provided he doesn't experience any lingering effects of the illness, Massoud should be ready to play Monday against Rhode Island.
