Julian Roper - Decreased playing time in lossRoper produced two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one assist across 10 minutes during Monday's 82-61 loss to Iowa.
ImpactJust one game after logging a season-high 29 minutes, Roper matched his second-lowest minutes total of the year despite remaining in the starting five. Coach Chris Collins revealed after the game that several Wildcats recently dealt with a flu bug, Chad Leistikow of the Des Moines Register reports. Collins didn't specifically name the impacted players, but fatigue from a recent illness would provide an explanation for Roper's decreased playing time. It wouldn't be surprising to see him return to a normal workload for Sunday's regular-season finale against Minnesota since he'll have a week to rest, but he's had lackluster fantasy results recently.

Boo Buie - No counting stats in defeatBuie produced zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT) over six minutes during Monday's 82-61 loss to Iowa.
ImpactBuie and the Wildcats already faced a tough test against the Hawkeyes on Monday, and coach Chris Collins revealed after the game that several of the team's starters recently dealt with a flu bug, Chad Leistikow of the Des Moines Register reports. Buie wasn't specifically named as one of the fatigued players, but the bug would provide an explanation for his season-low playing time. He'll have nearly a week to rest ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against Minnesota, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him reclaim a normal workload to close out the year. Across his eight appearances in February leading up to Monday's anomaly, Buie had averaged 15.1 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 29.4 minutes per game.

Robbie Beran - Minimal impact against IowaBeran supplied zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one block over eight minutes during Monday's 82-61 loss to Iowa.
ImpactBeran had a season-low eight minutes during Monday's blowout loss, and coach Chris Collins revealed after the game that several players recently dealt with a flu bug, Chad Leistikow of the Des Moines Register reports. While Collins didn't specifically state that Beran was one of the players who dealt with the issue, the fatigue from the illness would provide an explanation for his decreased playing time. It was encouraging that he was able to log some minutes, and he'll have time to recover prior to Sunday's regular-season finale against Minnesota. However, Beran has had a limited impact recently and has scored in double figures in just one of his last eight appearances.

Connor McCaffery - Thrives in starting opportunityMcCaffery racked up 17 points (5-10 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Monday's 82-61 victory over Northwestern.
ImpactMcCaffery took on a starting role Monday for the first time since Nov. 22 while Patrick McCaffery (hip) was sidelined. The redshirt senior responded with his best performance of the season while shooting 55.6 percent from beyond the arc. While he'll likely return to a bench role once his younger brother is healthy, the elder sibling has now topped 20 minutes in three of his last four appearances.
