Chase Audige - Scores 24 in win Audige chipped in 24 points (6-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 10-10 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 38 minutes during Thursday's 63-58 victory over Brown.
Impact Audige picked up the pace to finish 2022, scoring at least 19 points and as many as 28 in the final three games. His efforts from the floor will be a key barometer of Wildcat success in conference play.

Matthew Nicholson - Nine points, eight rebounds Nicholson notched nine points (3-7 FG, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 20 minutes during Saturday's 83-45 win over DePaul.
Impact Fantasy managers should not be surprised if Nicholson continues being a part of the Wildcats' starting lineup. Tydus Verhoeven logged one block across his 12 minutes Saturday. Meanwhile, Nicholson continues recording valued logs the Wildcats and fantasy managers would benefit from.

Tydus Verhoeven - Not starting Saturday Verhoeven is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against DePaul.
Impact Verhoeven has started in each of the first nine games for the Wildcats this season and will head to the bench in favor of Matthew Nicholson. The 6-9 senior saw a season-low 12 minutes last week against Prairie View A&M and it appears he could be losing a grip on his starting role.

Matthew Nicholson - Starting Saturday Nicholson is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against DePaul.
Impact Nicholson will earn his first career start as he replaces Tydus Verhoeven in the first five. The 7-0 junior is coming off his best game of the year in which he nearly got a double-double with nine points (2-4 FG, 5-6 FT) and 10 rebounds in 21 minutes but could still see a fairly even split with Verhoeven despite moving into the starting lineup.

Matthew Nicholson - Collects 10 rebounds Nicholson accumulated nine points (2-4 FG, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes during Sunday's 61-51 victory over Prairie View A&M.
Impact Nicholson surpassed double-digits rebounds for the first time this season while tying his season-high for minutes in a game. As he's not getting extended minutes on the court, Nicholson doesn't have the flexibility to make major contributions.
DECEMBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ty Berry - Adds seven in win Berry notched seven points (2-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists across 28 minutes during Sunday's 61-51 victory over Prairie View A&M.
Impact Berry has recorded five rebounds in three straight games but has scored over 10 points just once in his last four starts. Though Berry is averaging double-digit points for the first time in three seasons for the Wildcats, he hasn't exactly made a massive contribution by shooting 34.1 percent from the floor.
DECEMBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Robbie Beran - Scores 20 in win Beran provided 20 points (6-11 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 37 minutes during Sunday's 61-51 victory over Prairie View A&M.
Impact Beran hadn't scored 20 since the first game of the season and went five straight games without scoring in double figures until Sunday. He has done well to log 7.2 rebounds per game, but reliability from the floor will do wonders for Beran's production.
DECEMBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Boo Buie - Scores 20 in win Buie accumulated 20 points (6-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Sunday's 70-63 victory over Michigan State.
Impact Buie scored at least 20 for the second time this season after scoring no more than 10 points in three straight games. With the offensive potential of the Wildcats not always reliable, be careful when looking Buie's way.
DECEMBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Chase Audige - Adds 15 points in win Audige contributed 15 points (5-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and four steals over 28 minutes during Sunday's 70-63 win over Michigan State.
Impact Audige continues to score at a decent clip, logging at least 10 points in a fourth straight game and six times in eight games on the season. His 37.5 field goal percentage isn't great but it could translate into some nice results when he finds his touch from beyond the three point line.

Julian Roper - Scores season high in return Roper (upper body) posted seven points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 26 minutes during Sunday's 70-63 win over Michigan Stat...
Impact Roper set a new season high with seven points in Sunday's win. After missing three straight games, Roper returned to his usual role off the Wildcats bench where he is averaging 21.0 minutes per game.

Julian Roper - Warming up Sunday Roper (upper body) is warming up ahead of Sunday's game against Michigan State, Dave Eanet of WGN Radio 720 reports.
Impact Roper missed the last three games, but it appears likely that he'll be available Sunday. He's averaging 3.0 points and 3.0 rebounds in 21.0 minutes per game this season.
