Records 22-point triple-double Newton logged 22 points (4-14 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 14-17 FT), 10 rebounds, 11 assists, one block and four steals in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 84-64 victory over Buffalo. Impact Newton has looked better and better each time he's taken the court for the Huskies, as he's playing three different positions on the court to help fill the void left by multiple key injuries. The multi-category production didn't come completely out of left field, as Newton posted 17.7 ppg, 5.0 apg and 4.8 rpg with East Carolina last season. Granted, less shots will be available when Andre Jackson (finger) and Jordan Hawkins (concussion) both return, but for now, fantasy managers can ride the wave of Newton with two relatively soft matchups against UNC-Wilmington and Delaware State ahead on the schedule.
