Jaylon Tyson - 13 points in second startTyson ended with 13 points (6-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and two steals over 20 minutes during Thursday's 78-54 victory over Texas Southern.
ImpactTyson recorded a career high in points during the second start of his collegiate career. The sophomore wing averaged 1.8 points and 1.1 rebounds in 6.9 minutes across eight games before deciding to transfer from Texas last season. Tyson appears set to play a prominent scoring role in the Red Raiders' starting lineup in the 2022-23 campaign.

Kevin Obanor - Logs double-digit points ThursdayObanor closed Thursday's 78-54 win over Texas Southern with 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals in 17 minutes.
ImpactObanor improved his poor scoring efficiency from Monday's season opener against Northwestern State, when he converted two of his seven field-goal attempts. The fifth-year senior also finished with more rebounds despite playing nine fewer minutes Thursday. Obanor should continue to provide valuable veteran experience while playing alongside starting center Daniel Batcho, who is stepping up into a bigger role with Fardaws Aimaq expected to sit out until late December with a broken foot. The two starting frontcourt mates will look to continue building their rapport against Louisiana Tech on Monday.

Fardaws Aimaq - Given clearer timetableAimaq (foot) is wearing a cast to be removed during early December and will try being available before the Red Raiders' conference games begin, Austin Massey of 247Sports reports.
ImpactUnlike previously, Aimaq will try to be healthy before the Red Raiders begin their Big 12 season Dec. 31 versus TCU. The return date remains provisional though. Unsurprisingly, Daniel Batcho was selected to be the Red Raiders' starting center before participating in their game Monday.
