Emmanuel Bandoumel - Scores 10 in loss Bandoumel had 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 36 minutes during Friday's 73-55 loss to Purdue.

Impact Bandoumel scored in double-figures for the first time in four games but couldn't keep his team from a second loss in four days. He hasn't kept up solid scoring numbers for more than two games in a row, so there's plenty lacking in Bandoumel's production.

Jamarques Lawrence - Scores three in loss Lawrence closed with three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over 14 minutes during Tuesday's 76-50 loss to Illinois.

Impact Lawrence has been held scoreless on eight occasions this season so he's still settling into the college game. As he's willing to take a few three-pointers if given the chance, Lawrence could find his stride down the line.

Keisei Tominaga - Scores six off bench Tominaga provided six points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one steal across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 76-50 loss to Illinois.

Impact Tominaga has fallen down the list of productive 'Huskers after a fifth game under 10 points in his last six tries. He has the potential to put up decent numbers if he's allowed to take shots, but he's attempted no more than five in four straight games and that won't boost Tominaga's confidence.

Derrick Walker - Strong in win Walker notched 22 points (9-17 FG, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 40 minutes during Saturday's 81-79 OT win over Minnesota.

Impact Walker tied his season-high scoring mark while setting a new standard for assists in a game. He, Juwan Gary and Sam Griesel have all put up solid numbers to open conference play but it's worth seeing what they can do against the strongest teams in the league.

JANUARY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sam Griesel - Adds 17 points in win Griesel notched 17 points (5-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Saturday's 81-79 OT win over Minnesota.

Impact Griesel has turned an inconsistent start to the season into a notable opening for conference play by scoring in double-figures over four straight games. As he's averaging just under 45 percent from the floor this season, Griesel has more room to grow if he continues to knock down shots at a higher clip.

JANUARY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Juwan Gary - Scores 18 in win Gary closed with 18 points (7-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 33 minutes during Saturday's 81-79 OT victory over Minnesota.

Impact Gary inches closer to averaging double-digit points after scoring at least 11 in three of the last four games. As his rebounding tends to be solid whenever he does well from the floor, Gary should have decent value if he continues to improve.
