Duke's Wendell Moore Jr., Iowa's Keegan Murray headline Andy Katz's breakout list
A month into the men's hoops season, Andy Katz identifies breakout teams and players and those who have underperformed so far.DECEMBER 8, 2021
Alonzo Verge - Goes for 31 in defeatVerge finished Tuesday's 102-67 loss to Michigan with 31 points (12-21 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds and three assists across 30 minutes.
ImpactVerge has been a bright spot on a Nebraska team otherwise void of starpower, as he was one of only two players in double figures in Tuesday's conference loss. While Nebraska has struggled against better competition, Verge should continue to be a fantasy asset due to the fact he leads the team in both usage rate and shot rate.

Frankie Collins - Plays through ankle injuryCollins chipped in two points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two rebounds and three assists across 15 minutes during Tuesday's 102-67 victory over Nebraska.
ImpactCollins did roll his ankle in the first half, per Michigan beat writer Dylan Burkhardt, but he was able to return to the game later and tied Zeb Jackson for the most minutes among reserve guards. He's now seen 13 or more minutes in each of the last five games while continuing to serve in a depth role.

Bryce McGowens - Modest results in lossMcGowens notched eight points (2-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 102-67 loss to Michigan.
ImpactThe Cornhuskers failed to generate much production in Tuesday's blowout loss, but McGowens was able to contribute in the scoring column and on the boards. The freshman has been held to single-digit scoring totals in each of the last two games but is averaging 16.4 points and 6.8 rebounds in 34.5 minutes per contest this season.

Caleb Houstan - Scores 16 in blowout winHoustan finished Tuesday's 102-67 win over Nebraska with 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and two steals in 27 minutes.
ImpactHoustan has shown some glimpses of inconsistency during his freshman season, but he's now scored at least 14 points in three of his last four appearances. During that time, he's averaged 13.8 points and 7.0 rebounds in 33.5 minutes per game. Houstan has played at least 30 minutes in six of his first nine collegiate appearances and should remain heavily involved for Michigan.
