Denim Dawson - Logs seven minutes Thursday Dawson (undisclosed) finished with one rebounds, one assist, one block and missed his only shot attempt across seven minutes on the floor during Thursday's 66-50 win over Iowa.

Impact Dawson had missed the last two games due to injury and was able to get some time on the floor with the Huskers leading big a majority of the way. The 6-6 freshman has played over 10 minutes just once over his last six games after averaging 17.2 through the first five games of the year. His role seems to have been reduced and it's unclear if he'll return to the same usage he once had unless some injuries pop up.

Sam Griesel - Limited in practice Friday Griesel (illness) was limited in practice Friday ahead of Nebraska's Saturday matchup against Purdue, Robin Washut of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Even though Griesel is doing better, he's still not fully healthy as he's coming off a serious illness. He participated minimally in practice Friday which is a good sign but it's still up in the air if he'll be ready to go against an intimidating Purdue squad. If he's back in the lineup, expect the super senior to make an impact as a scorer and playmaker.

C.J. Wilcher - Logs 22 points in loss Wilcher logged 22 points (7-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds and one steal over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 81-65 loss to Indiana.

Impact Wilcher set a new season-high for points in a game but it came against one of the better teams in the Big 10. He's now scored at least 13 points in three of the last four games, a streak which he'll need to keep up in order to maintain his production.
