Sam Hoiberg - Scoreless in consecutive gamesHoiberg produced zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one assist and one steal across 13 minutes during Wednesday's 89-72 loss to Penn State.
ImpactWhile Hoiberg is typically known as a player who does all the little things correctly, but doesn't necessarily carry much fantasy value, he hurt more than he helped in Wednesday's loss. Not only was he held scoreless for the second game in a row, but he matched his season high with four turnovers. Over his last three games combined, he has more turnovers than points. Across eight games as a starter this season, Hoiberg is averaging 3.4 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists.

Connor Essegian - Best output of league playEssegian closed Wednesday's 89-72 loss to Penn State with 20 points (8-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes.
ImpactEssigian had three previous outings of 20 or more points in non-conference play but has struggled with his shot at times in the Big 10. After going 3-for-13 from the field over his last two contests, Essegian got back on track here, but it wasn't enough for the Huskers to escape with the road win. Next up is a resume-building opportunity against Michigan on Monday.
