Mike McGuirl - Should be available Sunday McGuirl (illness) is expected to be available Sunday against Nebraska, Kellis Robinett of the Wichita Eagle reports.
Impact McGuirl missed Sunday's game against Green Bay while battling the flu. He's expected to return to practice Friday and should play some part in the game against Nebraska, though it's possible his role is limited.

Ismael Massoud - Perfect shooting night on Sunday Massoud chipped in 17 points (5-5 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Sunday's 82-64 win over Green Bay.
Impact Massoud has put up 16.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 3.0 three-pointers over the last two games. He has been a great addition to the Wildcat frontcourt this season. Massoud will look to keep things going against Nebraska on Sunday.
DECEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Mark Smith - Third double-double of season Smith supplied 14 points (5-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals across 28 minutes during Sunday's 82-64 victory over Green Bay.
Impact Smith is putting up 11.8 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.2 three-pointers over his last five games. Nijel Pack is now back in the fold after recovering from injury, but Smith should be locked into a starting spot going forward. Nebraska will be up next on Sunday.
DECEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Markquis Nowell - Posts another strong line in win Nowell closed Sunday's 82-64 win over Green Bay with 22 points (7-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 34 minutes.
Impact Even with Nijel Pack returning from injury, Nowell remained in the starting lineup for the third straight game. I don't know how coach Bruce Weber takes him out at this point. Over his last six games, Nowell is putting up 15.3 points, 5.3 assists, 4.7 rebounds, 2.3 steals, and 2.0 three-pointers per contest. To this point in the season, the Little Rock transfer has to be in the conversation for newcomer of the year in the Big 12.

Nijel Pack - Scores six off bench Pack (concussion) logged six points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 15 minutes during Sunday's 82-64 win over Green Bay.
Impact Pack took on a bench role Sunday following his two-game absence due to a concussion, and his performance against Green Bay marked the first time this season that he didn't score in double figures. It was encouraging to see the sophomore back on the court Sunday, and he'll likely regain more playing time as his conditioning improves.
DECEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Selton Miguel - Starting Sunday Miguel (knee) is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Green Bay.
Impact Miguel has notably been playing through a knee injury but will return to the starting lineup for the first time since Nov. 23 after Mike McGuirl was ruled out with a non-COVID illness. Miguel started 22 games for the Wildcats last year so this is nothing new to him. The 6-4 sophomore is averaging 8.3 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 23.6 minutes per game so far this season.
DECEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Nijel Pack - Not starting Sunday Pack is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Green Bay.
Impact Pack was seen warming up and was expected to play but be limited in his return from a two-game absence due to a concussion. It'll be worth seeing how much head coach Bruce Weber ends up playing him and if he'll end up returning to the starting lineup next Sunday when the team travels to face Nebraska.
DECEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Mike McGuirl - Out Sunday McGuirl is out for Sunday's game against Green Bay due to a non-COVID illness, Kellis Robinett of the Wichita Eagle reports.
Impact The positive news is that McGuirl is not out with a COVID-related, illness, however, the Wildcats will be without a key rotation player, as he's averaged 6.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.5 steals in 25 minutes per contest. Selton Miguel (knee) and Luke Kasubke could see some extended minutes with McGuirl out.

Nijel Pack - Warming up early Pack (concussion) is on the floor warming up ahead of Sunday's game against Green Bay, Derek Young of Rivals.com reports.
Impact Pack is expected to return Sunday but be limited after missing the last two games due to a concussion. The 6-0 sophomore has been a vital player for the Wildcats this year, averaging 15.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.3 steals in 27.8 minutes per game. Even if limited, Pack's anticipated return to the floor should significantly help the team's offensive production.

Green Bay plays Kansas State
Green Bay and Kansas State look to bounce back from lossesDECEMBER 10, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Nijel Pack - Expected to be limited Sunday Coach Bruce Weber said Friday that he expects Pack (concussion) to play limited minutes against Green Bay on Sunday, Kellis Robinett of the Wichita Eagle reports.
Impact The sophomore guard has missed two consecutive games due to a concussion, but he is expected to return to action Sunday. Pack is averaging 15.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.3 steals in 27.8 minutes, so his presence -- even in a limited capacity -- will be a huge boost for Kansas State.

Markquis Nowell - Nears triple-double in loss Nowell recorded 11 points (5-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt), eight rebounds, 11 assists and three steals across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 64-63 loss to Marquette.
Impact Nowell made his second straight start of the season with Nijel Pack nursing an injury. He was fantastic in this one, contributing across the board and almost notching a triple-double. Nowell is averaging 12.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 2.1 steals, and 1.4 three-pointers per game. He has quietly been among the better newcomers early in the season in the conference.

Ismael Massoud - Season-high 16 points Massoud accumulated 16 points (6-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 64-63 loss to Marquette.
Impact Massoud's 16 points marked a season high for the Wake Forest transfer. He has started all eight games this season and is averaging 6.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.1 three-pointers per contest.

Impact Smith's 17 points in this narrow defeat marked a season high. He has been asked to do more with Nijel Pack dealing with an injury. Smith is now averaging 9.5 points and 7.5 rebounds in 26.9 minutes per contest going into Sunday's game against Wisconsin-Green Bay.
DECEMBER 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Selton Miguel - Plays through knee injury Miguel closed Wednesday's 64-63 loss to Marquette with two points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two rebounds over 18 minutes.
Impact After the game, coach Bruce Weber revealed that Miguel was playing through a knee injury, which is why his status weren't all that impressive. It's something to monitor in the coming days before Kansas State hosts Wisconsin-Green Bay on Sunday.
