Tamin Lipsey - Logs strong defensive productionLipsey notched 10 points (3-9 FG, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, two assists and four steals over 32 minutes during Saturday's 61-50 loss to Oklahoma.
ImpactLipsey logged four steals for the third time in his 28 starts this season. The 6-foot-1 freshman point guard also maintained his production as a scorer and rebounder, as he's now averaged 9.3 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.3 assists over the last 10 games. Iowa State now sits 8-8 in Big 12 play after losing six of its last eight conference games, which has been due in large part to the team's lack of consistent scoring over that span. Lipsey will look to maintain his effectiveness on the defensive end while also making more significant offensive contributions Monday versus West Virginia.

Jalen Hill - Solid outing despite cold shootingHill finished with two points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals across 37 minutes during Saturday's 61-50 victory over Iowa State.
ImpactHill logged his worst scoring performance of the season outside of when he failed to put up any points in the season opener versus Sam Houston. The 6-foot-6 senior was still able to salvage Saturday's outing by continuing to crash the boards while also registering once of his more productive defensive performances of the 2022-23 campaign. Hill has now averaged 10.1 points, 5.7 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 0.6 blocks per game this season. He'll look to recover from this disappointing shooting performance when Oklahoma heads to Kansas State on Wednesday.

Gabe Kalscheur - Scores in double digits againKalscheur recorded 12 points (4-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and one rebound in 34 minutes during Saturday's 61-50 loss to Oklahoma.
ImpactKalscheur scored in double figures for the third consecutive game after coming off of one of the roughest scoring stretches of the season, averaging just 7.3 points while shooting 28.1 percent from the floor over the previous four contests. However, the 6-foot-4 shooting guard's efficiency still has yet to improve, as he's converted just 28.2 percent of his 13.0 field-goal tries per game over the last three games. Kalscheur isn't likely to be a worthwhile fantasy consideration over the Cyclones' final three regular-season games unless his field-goal efficiency significantly improves moving forward.

Osun Osunniyi - Plays 14 minutes in lossOsunniyi notched six points (3-5 FG), one rebound and one block across 14 minutes during Saturday's 61-50 loss to Oklahoma.
ImpactOsunniyi saw his least extensive playing time since Iowa State lost 84-50 to Texas Tech on Jan. 10. The 6-foot-10 center has stepped up into a larger role as the Cyclones' starting center since that loss, averaging 9.8 points and 5.3 rebounds while playing 22.8 minutes per game across the 12 contests leading into Saturday. Osunniyi has shot 62.8 percent from the field over that span, but he's putting up just 6.5 field-goal attempts per game. This will significantly limit his ceiling as a scorer across Iowa State's final three regular-season games.
