A.J. Hoggard - Scores 15 in lossHoggard totaled 15 points (5-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 21 minutes during Thursday's 74-68 loss to Arizona.

ImpactHoggard closed with 15 points, two assists and a steal as the Spartans were defeated by the Wildcats. Michigan State fallen to 3-3 after opening with an extremely tough schedule. Hoggard has struggled to stand up to the opposing defensive pressure this season, averaging just 9.2 points on 31.0/14.3/77.3 shooting splits. The 6-foot-4 senior worked to get back on track Thursday, but he will need to reach mid-season form quickly as the Spartans approach conference play.

Keshad Johnson - X-factor for ArizonaJohnson posted 13 points (4-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and four steals in 30 minutes during Thursday's 74-68 victory over Michigan State.

ImpactMuch of Johnson's real-life value is derived from his stellar contributions on the defensive end, but the San Diego State transfer appears to have turned a corner offensively now that he's playing for an Arizona team that operates at a much faster pace. The fifth-year senior has posted double-digit scoring in all six games to begin the year, and he's also averaging a career-best 7.0 rpg after recording his first double-double of the year Thursday in the Acrisure Classic. Looking ahead, the only downside for fantasy managers rostering Wildcats is that Arizona has a long break ahead, as the team's next game isn't until Dec. 2 against Colgate.
