Struggles in conference opener Obanor finished with six points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and four rebounds in 23 minutes during Saturday's 67-61 loss to TCU.
Impact Obanor posted his worst shooting performance since the season opener against Northwestern State. The fifth-year forward also wound up playing five fewer minutes than his season average, as he coughed up a season-high five turnovers in this late loss against the Horned Frogs. This allowed backup KJ Allen to put up nine points and five rebounds while matching his season-high for minutes with 21. Obanor, who has been the Red Raiders' best player this season, will look to improve upon this bumpy start to Big 12 play when Texas Tech takes on an arguably tougher opponent in Kansas on Tuesday.

First 20-point game Obanor notched 20 points (7-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds and one assist over 27 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 78-71 win over Nicholls.
Impact Obanor eclipsed 20 points for the first time this season, as he logged season highs in field-goal and three-point attempts.

He's also notched double-digit points in seven of eight games while increasing his overall shooting efficiency to 52.6 percent in 2022-23. Obanor is also second on the team in rebounds per game (5.8), and he could put up an all-around dominant performance against Eastern Washington on Tuesday.

Logs double-digit points Thursday Obanor closed Thursday's 78-54 win over Texas Southern with 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals in 17 minutes.
Impact Obanor improved his poor scoring efficiency from Monday's season opener against Northwestern State, when he converted two of his seven field-goal attempts. The fifth-year senior also finished with more rebounds despite playing nine fewer minutes Thursday. Obanor should continue to provide valuable veteran experience while playing alongside starting center Daniel Batcho, who is stepping up into a bigger role with Fardaws Aimaq expected to sit out until late December with a broken foot. The two starting frontcourt mates will look to continue building their rapport against Louisiana Tech on Monday.
