Sam Godwin - Productive outing TuesdayGodwin produced 12 points (4-6 FG, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds and one assist over 15 minutes during Tuesday's 79-75 loss to Kansas.
ImpactGodwin logged a season high in rebounds while also matching his season high in points during this back-and-forth contest. The 6-foot-10 junior has not taken on a significantly larger role since transferring from Wofford ahead of this season, though his scoring and rebounding have not taken a step back after moving up to the Power-5 level. This production per game has taken a slight dip during his small four-game sample size in conference play (4.5-4.0-1.0), but he's still shooting an extremely efficient 70 percent from the floor overall during this span. Godwin should continue to see consistent playing time behind starting center Tanner Groves.

Milos Uzan - Posts another double-digit outingUzan ended with 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 35 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 79-75 loss to Kansas.
ImpactUzan logged at least 11 points for the fifth time this season while taking on a slightly larger share of field-goal tries Tuesday. The freshman shooting guard has now started each of the last eight games since taking over this spot from sophomore C.J. Noland. Unsurprisingly, Uzan's production has taken a jump after going from 18.8 minutes per game to 32.3 minutes per game, averaging 8.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4.4 assists as a starter. He also leads the team in assists ahead of point guard Grant Sherfield during this span. However, Uzan's limited share of field-goal attempts will likely make it difficult to put up consistent scoring numbers.

Gradey Dick - Off shooting night vs SoonersDick provided eight points (1-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 79-75 win over Oklahoma.
ImpactDick scored fewer than 11 points for just the fourth time this season. While he logged a season-worst one made field goal, the 6-foot-8 freshman slightly made up for this by matching his season high for free-throw tries. Dick still far and away leads the Jayhawks' starting five in all-around three-point shooting with a 47.2 percent conversion rate on his 5.6 three-point tries per game. He's also third on the team in rebounds per game (5.3), and he should continue to put up productive stats while playing over 30 minutes in almost every game.
