Joshua Morgan - Plays usual role in returnMorgan produced four points (2-2 FG), three rebounds and two assists in 21 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 85-75 victory over Stanford.

ImpactMorgan came off the bench for the first time this season while returning from a four-game hiatus with an ankle injury. The 6-foot-11 junior did play slightly fewer minutes than his new per-game average (24.3). Nevertheless, Morgan still out-produced freshman Vince Iwuchukwu in minutes (13), points (three) and rebounds (one) even though the latter logged his fifth consecutive start Saturday. Morgan has now averaged 7.5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.3 blocks across 23 contests this season. His next opportunity to return to the starting lineup will come Thursday at Colorado.
