Gets back in double figures Hunter closed Thursday's 81-61 victory over Colgate with 10 points (4-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes.
Impact Hunter finished with double-digit points for the sixth time in the last eight games. The 6-foot sophomore had put up 11 combined points while taking 16 field-goal tries over the two contests leading into the Round of 64, so it's encouraging that he saw double-digit field-goal attempts again Thursday. Hunter's production is largely hit or miss, and he'll likely continue to take a secondary role behind fellow starting guard Marcus Carr (17 points, one rebound, four assists, 6-10 FG) moving forward.

Finishes regular season strong Hunter closed Saturday's 75-59 win over Kansas with 20 points (4-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 9-10 FT), two rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes.
Impact Hunter ended the 2022-23 regular season on a high note, logging four straight outings of double-digit points. This includes just his third 20-point performance of the season tallied during this three-throw-heavy outing versus the Jayhawks. Hunter averaged 15.8 points, 1.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists while shooting 45.2 percent from the field over the final four games of the season. He'll look to keep this momentum rolling this Thursday when Texas has its first game in the Big 12 Tournament.

Finishes in single digits again Hunter amassed nine points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and two assists in 30 minutes during Monday's 74-67 loss to Texas Tech.
Impact Hunter's shooting struggles persisted in this major upset loss. The 6-foot sophomore has scored fewer than 10 points in five of the last seven games, as he's converted just 33.9 percent of his 8.4 field-goal attempts per game over that span. Hunter has now shot 38.3 percent from the field and 31 percent from three this season, and he should be considered a fringe fantasy consideration despite serving as the starting point guard for the No. 6 Longhorns.

Lack of scoring persists in loss Hunter logged seven points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and four assists over 32 minutes during Saturday's 82-71 loss to Tennessee.
Impact Hunter came up short of double-digit points for the second game in a row and the fifth time in seven games. The Iowa State transfer appears to have lost his priority scoring role from the beginning of the season, as he's hit just 28.6 percent of his 7.0 field-goal attempts per game since his 29-point outing against Kansas State. Hunter has only contributed 3.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists else-wise, making him a fringe fantasy option compared to the rest of the Longhorns' starting lineup.

Shooting woes continue in loss Hunter ended with 10 points (3-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 78-67 loss to Iowa State.
Impact Hunter logged his 10th double-digit scoring performance of the season, though it was just his third time doing so since Dec. 6. The 6-foot sophomore has also been rather inefficient through six conference games this season, converting a lousy 27.8 percent of his 9.0 field-goal attempts per game during this span. This also includes a 29-point outing against Kansas State on Jan. 3, in which he went 5-of-9 from three-point land and 8-of-16 overall. Given Hunter's lack of consistent production on the boards and as a distributor on offense, his fantasy value should prove rather low until/if he breaks out of this shooting slump.

Season high in points Tuesday Hunter registered 29 points (8-16 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 8-8 FT), one rebound, one assist and three steals over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 116-103 loss to Kansas State.
Impact Hunter broke out of his recent scoring slump in a big way. After averaging just 5.7 points over the previous six games, the Iowa State transfer logged season highs in field-goal and three-point attempts as the Longhorns tried to dig themselves out of a hole during this wire-to-wire win for Kansas State. The sophomore guard did match his season high in made threes en route to his best scoring performance of the season, though this was just the second time he's converted over 50 percent of his shots from beyond the arc across 14 starts in 2022-23. Hunter still ranks second on the team in points per game (12.1) behind Marcus Carr (18.1), the latter of whom is the only Longhorns starter to convert more than 34 percent of his three-pointers this season.

Coming out party in win Hunter registered 26 points (9-14 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 93-74 win over Gonzaga.
Impact Hunter logged a career high in points during this early-season statement win for the Longhorns. The sophomore guard fully embraced his starring role in Texas' backcourt, putting up a team-high 14 field-goal attempts and a season-high eight three-pointers while also leading the team in made threes ahead of senior guard Marcus Carr (16 points, 5-12 FG, 4-9 3FG). Hunter was limited to just 26 minutes played as he was temporarily shaken with an undisclosed injury near the end of the second half, though he appeared unbothered during Wednesday's postgame television interview. In three games since transferring from Iowa State, the Wisconsin native has averaged 18 points, five boards and two assists while converting 59.4 percent of his 10.7 field-goal attempts per game, and he'll look to keep up this hot start against Northern Arizona on Monday.
