Adam Seiko - Tough sledding against Michigan Seiko racked up three points (1-5 FG, 1-5 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 32 minutes during Saturday's 72-58 loss to Michigan.

Impact While Seiko returned from a two-game absence and saw his best minutes total of the season, it was tough sledding against one of the top perimeter defenses he has seen all year. Through six games, Seiko is on pace for a career-low 25.0 percent from distance, though that should eventually correct itself as the schedule eases up and he sees more opportunities. The volume should at least be there, at least while backcourt mate and primary ball handler Lamont Butler takes a month to recover from a broken wrist.

Adam Seiko - Will start Saurday Seiko (quad) will start Saturday's contest against Michigan, Michigan beat writer Dylan Burkhardt reports.

Impact Seiko has sat out the last pair of games for the Aztecs but is back in the fold and the starting five.
